Do you think people who have done bad things deserve 'karma'?

jeanjolie

I don't mean some sort of pseudo scientific/religious crap where the universe balances out good and evil.

I mean where a group of teens bully a kid to suicide, then a few years later another kid goes on a random mass shooting and kills the bully or perhaps a mass shooting randomly happens to target a family member of the bully and not themselves.

People will say that 'no one deserve things like this' but is this true?

What you describe OP is revenge.

Karma is dished out by nature, and I've a few people I'm wishing Karma on, but so far I'm disappointed, although one had to be rushed into hospital for emergency surgery - however disappointingly he survived.

Skyfarm

you could call it cause and affect, or guilt

Widdershins

No, that would perpetuate the cycle of injustices (because of the other innocent victims or because of innocent people connected to the target-the original bully- who suffer in an unforeseen way because of the target' death)
The best revenge is a life well lived.

How do we know that kid being bullied wasn't receiving their own dose of karma for their earlier transgressions?

What you're talking about is revenge, vigilantism not karma and I don't agree with it.

I couldn't condone any society that allows you take the law into your own hands that way.

Karma is something that happens naturally and in some cases it would be deserved.

Hannibal_Smith

Karma is a BS way for the wronged party to feel some day what was done to them will be made good. That's it. It doesn't exist. I am ashamed to say I am one of those people that would love if it did exist though :pac:

That's a very specific example which wouldn't be all that common I'd imagine. I don't think it's ever happened in Ireland anyway.

When it comes to kids and bullying well I'd find it hard to see how anyone could justify either the bullying aspect, or the bullies being shot and killed. That would a be a truly tragic situation where there would be no winners, just unnecessary loss of life. I don't think it would be right for anyone to feel a sense of justice in that actual example.

Hector Savage

The universe doesn't care.
It would be nice if c*nts got their comeuppance in the world and sometimes they do - but karma it's not.

The universe doesn't care.

Karma is bigger that any person our government organisation . Karma the people who I knew who did bad evil got `bad deaths and freak accidents . But I believe it was` Karma` that came back to `haunted them that is my opinion.

Mena Mitty

Where I live in the Midlands if some catastrophe befalls someone who in the past has been a c*** people will say 'It couldn't have happened to a nicer fella' or 'he finally got his comuppence' or if he came close to death and it was touch and go and the fkr miraculously recovers...people will say 'if he was any good he'd be dead long ago'

I've been wronged myself in the past and waiting for 'karma' can be a pain in the backside. A few of my ships came in so to speak...but I'm waiting for a few chickens to come home to roost...eh! so to speak. It's what keeps me going, hoping that what goes around comes around.

Wanderer2010

The older I get, the more I believe that Karma doesn't really exist and is just a concept to comfort those who have been hurt by the bastards of this world. I used to believe it in my earlier, idealistic days and it was almost a security blanket whenever I was bullied, screwed over or dealt with a rude person to think "Oh they will get theirs one day if they keep treating people like that". In reality, I know absolutely vile people who live for decades screwing over others and have a fantastic life with plenty of holidays, three houses and luck coming out of their ears.
The thing with Karma is YOU have to deliver it to someone if you want someone else to suffer that much. Otherwise its best to just shrug off the people who try to hurt you and not let it eat you up. And if it bothers you that much, confront them and then move on. But Karma as a concept I don't think exists.

I think the point of Karmic consequence is for the person to learn and grow. Shooting them would be a bit of a barrier to that.

If you were bullied, you could focus on yourself instead of on them. In what way have you grown since then? Have you developed empathy for others who are oppressed, have you found an inner strength?

I'm not sure about that one. If you count up all the bad things that *didn't* happen to you, in most cases, people would feel quite lucky.

soups05

and if you could count up all the bad things that happened to me, most of which i would never post here, then you would realise that the only way to counter all that bad would be a massive good. like a lotto win.

the fact that i never had cancer for instance, or some killer diseases, or any other form of bad luck, does not mean i have good luck.

i have bad luck, some of it caused by others, but so much of it that i cannot believe in karma, in god, in a universal balance.

life is just random crap till you just wish flanders was dead lol.

I'm not doubting that you have had your share of it but I still think it's often a matter of perception. I could take the same view but I choose not to, even though it's been difficult.

That might be a bit mean.
The last time I confided something to a 'friend' he said something like ''you must have been wicked in a past life''. Interestingly, he's been in constant pain for four years since that conversation. Not that I engage in schadenfreude. *hollow cough*
