Karma

First of all the question is, what is Karma? The actual definition of this word from Webster’s dictionary is, “an action seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or reincarnation.” If you really think about it this definition has a very powerful meaning. Some believe in the concept of Karma 100 percent, while others say it’s a false idea. People may use other words to describe Karma, but it all comes down to one thing; do unto others as you would have done to you, which is also stated in the Bible. A more simple meaning is to treat others the way you would want to be treated. Parents teach this to their kids at a very young age. Simply said, if we choose to ignore the workings of Karma, we tend to create many problems for ourselves. For example, if we like to have something expensive, but we can’t afford it, it becomes very tempting to steal. If we are smart enough we may never be caught stealing. However, by stealing we create problematic situations for ourselves in the future, like poverty, or being the victim of robbers. Therefore, if we chose to ignore Karma the results of our actions will still haunt us. To sum it up in my opinion Karma represents ultimate justice because everyone is held responsible for their own actions, and even if Karma would not exist. As long as I try to avoid negative actions, the world would be a better place to live in for everyone anyway. Nevertheless, Karma is like a boomerang and it hits you when you least expect it.

And there have also been many cases of seeing people doing good things and they are too eventually awarded for what they’ve done. Just take the time out and think about it. Have you ever wondered or said to yourself “why is this happening to me?” but then you realize when you think
