NOPE. If I did, it would mean that I believe in some sort of "cosmic justice" and such a thing simply does not exist. Sometimes things are just shit and we have to suck it up.

Nope! Unfortunate things happen to "good" (whatever that is) people every day, and vice versa.

Definitely! Helps to keep our moral compass going in a positive direction

Karma? Let's see. I'm a life long fan of Sharon Tate. She was 26, sweetest human being you could meet, by all accounts, and horribly and brutally murdered by strangers. Her murder mastermind, Charles Manson, lived in a protected environment in prison, died at 82, given all medical care to the end, and not once regretful of his actions.

Karma? What Karma?

Ps. To the comment, "Karma doesn't work like that." I say, well, how the bloody hell should it work?

Wishful thinking of a sore loser.

Karma what goes around comes around x

Social karma, yes. If you treat people like crap they will usually respond in kind.
Cosmic karma, no. Given the nature of life, I find it unlikely there is anything reacting to our behavior.

No.

gets struck by lightning

Still nope.

Hell ya! it's a universal constant. Just saying....

it depends on what you mean by karma.

do I think that my actions affect the way I interact with the world, and that that effect will color things that happen to me in the future? absolutely.

do I think that if I steal, at some point in my life I will lose things to theives? no, absolutely not.

do I believe in a reincarnation where my karma will affect my outcome? no, I don't believe in reincarnation at all.

the word "karma" means different things in different teachings, so it is important to know what someone means by it before determining whether their thinking is supernatural or not.

NO. I think it's wishful thinking. If there was really karma, old Mango Mussolini would be locked up and raped in prison. But the rich and powerful seldom pay for their crimes.

Karma is just something people invented to make themselves feel better about the "unfairness" of life.

Some westerners might not think they believe in karma, since that’s eastern mysticism, but all my life here in the U.S. I heard
people say “what goes around comes around.” Which is just another way of saying karma.

There is no reason to believe that Karma in any context exist.

if you mean karma the way most people describe it, namely, what goes around comes around, then no. that's bunk. if you mean karma the way i understand it -- the cycle of cause and effect WITHOUT any regard for justice as in... you know, the butterfly effect, for example -- then yeah. but that's not what most people mean, alas.

Seriously? "Rational" thinkers? Please quality that assertion.

Karma, Dharma, Brahma, Ganesha ... what difference does any of this Hindu 'woo-woo' make?

nope attributing some cosmic justice to a localised wrong is weird
