Do you believe there is 'karma' in everything

Earlier in my life I did not believe in karma, but as years have passed I have changed my position a little, maybe it is just karma.

I kinda wished it was true, but the fact is we actually don’t know. We can choose to believe it sure, but we don’t know.

Karma is psychological, so basically what you think, do and say is effectively your karma.

I believe that the energy I put out… I get met with.

I believe that actions have reactions and consequences…

I can see how a negative angry person who doesn’t help others… won’t get help back.

sometimes I call it karma… other times… I call it… the result of my own actions.

There are 3 Aspects of Karma -

  1. Karma immediately applicable - I mean this is pretty OBVIOUS. If you are Good, Loving and Kind you are bound to attract people and would be fortunate to receive help from others. If you are angry, rude, cunning etc you are bound to repel people.

  2. Karma that hits you later (when Alive) when you least expect it - This Karma is pretty dicey to be true. But I do believe this Karma is also true.

  3. Karma which you carry on Death - This is believe is purely Psychological. If you die with a mind that is full of Craving, Misery, frustrations and Idiocacy and stupidity - you cannot expect to be reborn in a good world.

Similarly if you die with a Loving Mind - you maybe reborn in Heaven.

Karma is basically a way of bargaining with fate. It’s saying that if you be good then you deserve good done unto you.

There’s a name for this, I think Karen Horney, a famous psychologist back in the day called this the compliant solution to the anxiety one has about life, to put it in plain English; it’s being “good” however your culture defines “good” and therefore expecting/practically demanding that good will happen in return and if it doesn’t then you have a mental breakdown.

I’m careful about karma, it’s basically making a deal with life and expecting payment. Instead I just do well and good and then whatever happens is just out of my hands to a degree. I can and have been nice only to be abused in return. So no, I don’t believe in karma, but I am good to people and hard on myself because that is the respectable way to live. The difference is that I don’t demand others to reciprocate it, I know not to do that because that is basically neurotic, that’s superstitious and implies insecurity–it’s making a bargain with life out of uncertainty. Secure people do well and good and know better than to anticipate the best happening to them AND handle things well when the best doesn’t happen to them. People who are really stuck on karma may break down when life isn’t so peachy because they had predicted and planned for life being peachy. So when bad things happen, they experience a great deal of pain because they were living in an idealist unreality of everything being just and fair.

Things are not always just and fair. My life has been filled with unfair situations and unjust situations. I don’t just go cry in the corner, I am ready for life to be hard and I hold my ground.

Example is the playground bully. Being nice to them will not result in them being nice back. An ass kicking is in order when they are just being mean, I had to do that when I was a boy.

That’s my opinion.
