Karma - What goes around comes around?

Do you believe in Karma? I do. Or at least the idea of it. I really believe that when you go out of your way to try and help people, do positive things, that in turn, positive and good things will happen to you.

Now if your grumpy or angry and yell and such, I do not think that means that this in turn will happen to you, but if you do something out of spite, revenge or on purpose to try and hurt someone else, I believe that "karma" will have way of "evening" up the odds in regards to something that might happen to you. Not necessarily in the same fashion, but perhaps something that you were trying so hard to have completed will fall through.

In Buddhist teaching, the law of karma, says only this: `for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.' A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things. (Events are not skillful in themselves, but are so called only in virtue of the mental events that occur with them.)

Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them.

"As you sow so shall you reap" This is the Law of Karma. Interestingly, both science and religion recognize this law. In science it is often stated, “For every action there is an equal and opposing reaction.” Its religious counterparts are, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”; and “As you do unto others, it will be done unto you.” Even today’s common knowledge expresses this principle in the saying, “What goes around, comes around.” This is the law of karma, of cause and effect.
