Damn I love this thread! Anyway Idk I think that we all believe in some type of Karma.Though we might not admit it.

There is no Karma.

If there was some sort of Karmic force, the heroic starving children of the world would cease to starve one day and be granted millions of dollars and endless food. Which never happens.

And the corporate slimeballs who make millions exploiting others would be fired and sent to prison. Which only rarely happens.

There is no Karma, only good and bad luck and everything in between.

what goes around comes around, its a basic principle from every religion.

Well, i guess it depends how deeply you beleive in karma, and in fact buddhism....

The explanation for the starving children would come from the endless cycle of rebirth, whatever immense daily suffering is felt by these people must have come from somewhere. previous lives?

As for the slimeballs... maybe you just linked it up yourself? .. maybe the starving children are the slimeballs of the last life cycle?

But there's another question aswell.. all these slimeballs.. i'm stereotyping here, but they all seem to be... over-the-hill, balding fat guys, throwing fabricated yacht parties with no-one to confide in but golddigging cheap ass whores... are they happy? really happy? inside?

And the ones who are, perhaps they deserve it?

People in the west seem to have very little idea what "karma" actually is. They tend to think of it as some kind of mysterious cosmic force that ensures good things happen to people who do good things and bad things happen to people who do bad things. If you actually look at Hinduism and Buddhism, you find a very different story however. Karma is actually a name for causation—the idea that causes have effects, and people are responsible for the effects of the things they cause. In this sense I don't think anybody can reasonably doubt the existence of karma.
