Do you believe in karma?

[I Have A Dream]

Or any other way you want to word it: "what goes around, comes around", "you reap what you sow", etc.?

Do you feel that you'll be rewarded for doing good and punished for doing bad things?

If so, does this affect how you make decisions in your life?

When you do good, how much of it has to do with getting future rewards, and when you don't do bad things, is it because you don't want future punishments?

1. Not really. I think we ARE our karma

I think we make what goes around come back to us.

Our reward for doing good things is the space of the thoughts we live in. Ditto with the bad.

3. Nice way of putting it.

2. Boy, do I ever

Seen it in action lots. That's one reason I'm so nervous about the crimes the Bushitheads are committing in our names...

4. Yes, I do.

Absolutely. But Karma often works in ways so subtle that most people don't see it.

6. Yes and no

I believe that when we do bad we (even unconsciously) feel bad and then (unconsciously) make or have bad things happen to us. The same with good. When we help others or 'do the right thing' then we feel good, act like it and it continues to progress.

(Oh and that having kids just like we were when we were young....I got the best kid and don't deserve him. My brother was an angel, he'd better watch out :scared:)

7. Yes.

100%.

I also agree with the person that stated it can often be very subtle.
