dizzyplaya
Karma doesn't respond to action in life, it responds by giving you lives of according suffering or non-suffering.
Boxingbud
Sort of. Good and bad karma send you back here, called "Samsara" in Buddhism. Until you have no Karma, then you get to go to Nirvana.
Boxingbud
"Samsara" is the endless cycle of birth and death into and out of this world.
tortfeasor
No greater cognitive dissonance than believing that there is order in the universe. Karma is just another form of confirmation bias.
manimatr0n
This doesn't imply an order to the universe. Karma, like wyrd, simply explains how past actions, on a personal and societal level, affect+
manimatr0n
+the present and the future.
MakeItBackAlright
There is order... the idea of chaos is an illusion created by our limited scope. Depends how you look at it.
Mistruths
Karma has always been about AFTER death, though. The good you do in this life is repaid in the next, as is the bad, then you reincarnate.
TheRelevancyOfMyNameIsRelativelyIrrelevant
so, because you don't believe in it, no one else should believe in it? Who died and made you god?

TheDeviIsAdvocate
Cognitive dissonance happens when you have conflicting beliefs. Not sure how that applies here. Also, no order in the universe? Seriously?
turdfergy
Order is not natural. Entropy naturally increases
TheDeviIsAdvocate
What are you suggesting? Where does the order come from if not nature?
GentlemanScientist
Before I launch into something I need to know how you define "natural".
Insomnia297
Or you could say that "entropy always increases" is a form of order itself. Or that entropy still gives birth to ordered systems like humans
turdfergy
Entropy, It's delta s in chemistry/physics. The universe is constantly growing in "disorder". It naturally tends towards disorder.
GentlemanScientist
Please don't take this as being patronizing but you just repeated yourself, how do you define "natural"?
massakayne
Entropy = a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often >
massakayne
interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. >>
massakayne
lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.
PanicAtTheCostco
I like the IDEA of karma, but in all reality bad things happen to good people who don't deserve it pretty often.
kittiesonice
Maybe they're being punished for the bad they'll do in the future. Preemptive karma.

Well the western trope of vindictive karma is kind of a hodgepodge of christian values and hinduist words.

vonsandwich
Unless bad karma has allowed you recognize that the things you have been doing are bad, and help you change your behavior for the better.
MakeItBackAlright
Karma doesn't even out the viciousness of the universe. We're all gonna die. Karma only defines your experience of your own choices.

Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
The idea is not that being good will prevent bad things from happening, it's that good things happen to good people.
carebearsandstares
Not really, Karma is just another form of Western Natural Law or Chinese Daoism, bad things are not sustainable, based on Universal Reason.
diabolicalpenguinarmyoverulesallupvotes
There's the difference between karma and consequence. Consequence is far reaching and timely yet karma is particular but not bound by time
blitherypoop
It's a nice thought, but most people think they're good. Shit just happens. I'd rather just get on with it than pretend anything matters.
PanicAtTheCostco
So far it seems like you're the only one to really get my point
EataFuckingDick
(1) I think I get it, but in a way it's about pulling your weight. Like recycling, maybe you don't get rewarded directly, but you're a part
EataFuckingDick
(2) of the positive system. If everybody does it, it will turn out great. So all you gotta do is put those good vibes out there.

I really like what you just said there. Wouldn't have guessed you'd think that way with a username like @eatafuckingdick lol
SirGunther
Aristotle believed this as well. Luck plays a huge part in everything.
GrimRiderJ
All the time. How does karma account for child death? Was it the parents bad karma or the babies?

Odds just weren't in their favor no matter how they rolled the dice.
thundercactus
Sometimes bad things just happen. That's why reincarnation is a part of this belief.
thundercactus
In order to find balance over many lives.

I find that reality is more like D&D than anything. You make a decision and there's a giant cosmic dice roll. You pass the check or don't
Jupman
I call it the shit happens clause.
graehall
Karma is like conspiracy theories, they're both escapes to pretend there is purpose and reason to random raw reality.
Placeboy
At the same time, we can't pretend to be able to predict and understand every cause and effect of everything that happens.
PanicAtTheCostco
That's the point I'm leaning towards. Shit just sort of... happens lol
graehall
That it does, and when you pull on your big kid pants, you let go of superstition, and accept exactly that. Shit happens. That's existence.
PanicAtTheCostco
Yup. Sometimes you gotta look out for yourself regardless of what "karma" may present you with afterwards. And you just keep keepin on
graehall
The real demonstration of your character, of who you are as a person, is being good, day in day out, in a random uncaring universe.
TheifofZ
Everyone gets the idea of karma wrong; Karma isn't immediate like that; Karma is a function of the cycle of Reincarnation. You do good this-
TheifofZ
-life, then your NEXT life will be better; continue to be good and earn up karma, eventually you take a break from the cycle in paradise. 2
TheifofZ
Addendum here: No matter what, eventually you'll be dropped back into the cycle of reincarnation. The Great Wheel turns, and you are part.
TheifofZ
So if you were a saint in the last life, you'll get good stuff in this life, even if you're a dick. Of course, if you're a dick this time 3-
TheifofZ
Your next life will be worse. And this is over all lives and all forms of life; you might be a cockroach or raven your next life. 4-
TheifofZ
our own hands, thus removing the concept of fate and Karma from the punishment involved. The more you know. 6/6.
TheifofZ
Of course, the bastardization of Karma is that the cycle is far more immediate, which isn't how fate works except when we take it into 5-
RumbaSambaMambo
Actually, karma is just the name of the law of cause and effect. Consider it works in a way comparable to physics.

Exactly, there's no metaphysical blah blah attached at all
NakedTacoNight

xSquirrelly
Karma has no impact upon this life. It is your rebirth. God,demigod,human,animal,spirit, or "hell." Where you are reborn is decided by karma
PanicAtTheCostco
I like this concept better. I guess karma has become a loosely used term
lkat
Yeah I'm still trying to figure out why things always go shitty for me because I'm not a shitty person.
Monka42
If you believe in karma you have to believe in reincarnation for it to make sense. Past life karma is a bitch but ultimately we becomebetter
Digpoint
Sometimes it is not Karma from direct action but the Karma of the decision. Good people die in war. Karma of the decision of joining the mil
funkmaster40
That is one obviously dangerous decision. What about walking down the street and getting hit by a drunk driver? Getting diseases?
eternalposer
And children who are born only to starve or die from disease? What have they done to deserve such a hell?

The reward for good karma is happiness or internal peace. The idea of putting good info the world in order to receive good back isn't about
Eliaso10
Right, so it goes for giving good things, but for the bad that will happen to one despite an excellent conduct is unjustified by karma
Articate
Actually, karma is a mistranslated subject, and even good karma isn't good. It means you do something to get good back. It's not happiness
iwould
A lot of eastern religion is loosely translated. But the idea of karma is deeper then fling good for reward. Leave that to judeo Christians

I like the idea of karma aswell but it doesn't really work because you can't define something as "good" (1/2)

It could be argued that perception of reality is subjective, rather. While an actual objective reality could exist.

I suppose, but what/who is supposed to decide what is what. I think most people think, in their mind, that they are good people. 1/2

Karma is not a reward or punishment, it's a result. It is also impersonal. You inherit the karma of others as others are doomed by yours.
MrTranewreck

suckedintothevortex
Thanks for the explanation! I normally hear people say, "karma is a bitch" so I've always associated it with punishment.
samahiel
Karma comes from the Sanskrit word for "action". When you perform actions they have results that may be skillful or unskillful ...
samahiel
at achieving their intent, which may be good or ill. By reducing your reactions, studying your past actions, and mindfully choosing ...
samahiel
skillful actions you strive to reduce the future suffering of yourself and others.
MyNameIsLong
You, I like you. I've always struggled with explaining karma to others
samahiel
"Why should I suffer for HIS action" is forgetting that the self is a momentary illusion. Everyone suffers for every action eventually.
thundercactus
I'm sure you agree, the most common explanation given is that you don't have to do something bad BEFORE something bad happens to you
thundercactus
BUT because something bad has happened to you, something good will eventually happen. And 2nd most common one is that good karma can...
thundercactus
take YEARS to come back to you. Things need to be balanced, but they don't need to be balanced right NOW.
