    Not really but auras I'd believe more than karmas! More of a horoscope and tarot follower really!

    It's something people choose to believe because it's presumably comforting. There is absolutely zero solid proof it exists.

    Of course I believe in Karma. It means I can do mean things to people all day and assume they have it coming to them.

    Funny how no-one ever really talked about Karma - an Indian religious concept - until "My Name is Earl" came on the telly.

    Well, what would you expect really?
    That's why I don't think people believe it exists, because they don't really understand it..in my opinion. (before I'm attacked)

    Earl: (after punching a guy) Maybe Karma's behind this whole thing Randy. I mean the guy finally got what he deserved. Maybe Karma just borrowed my fist to give it to him.

    Karma/Divine Retribution/What goes around comes around, lovely notions but if there was any basis behind them, we'd never need a prison system.

    It would be good; Some guy pisses me off by doing something to me, I save myself the hassle of doing something back knowing that Karma will fùck him up in equal measure.

    But, alas, we live in reality where good honest people get horrible diseases and die a painful death. Why? Because they put the empty carton of milk back in the fridge?

    ok lets just say a chap is always friendly and generous to all his neighbours or family or workmates. one of those good natured types.
    lets say he falls on hard times, or needs a good break or something and one of the folk he's regularly in contact with decides he can deliver this good deed anonymously.
    because the chap was known to be a decent sort someone helps him out. some will call that karma. while i don't believe in a cosmic force dealing out the ole ying and yang there is something to be said about leading a good life, and the odd time it'll yield rewards.
    so yes it does exist and no it doesn't

    Yes - without doubt what goes around comes around in some personal one to one manner

    Action and Reaction. Reaction can be affected somewhat by the intention of the action.

    I'd really like to think it does tbh.

    So, for all those that have ****ed me over,
    it comes back to them.

    I was just thinging about this actually.

    I was thinking of this one lad who seems to have more fun times and general "banter"than I do but is somewhat of a prick.

    But then I realised somthing...He doesent..infact quite recently on holiday we was robbed by a local mafia and forced to pay for damages they made to his room and he not long ago had his jaw fractured.Meanwhile I have close friends,much more happier times,far more life and adventerouse experiances and have never had anything truly bad happen to me.

    I know it seems like general hogwash when i say this there but it's somthing you'd have to talk about in person and such or even know either of us.
