Karma


From Webster's: Karma: often capitalized : the force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence.

The "official" definiton refers to the conseqences of one's actions materializing in the next life.

In everyday usage though it seems to mean "what goes around, comes around." In other words, if you're nice the universe will reward you, if you're mean life will punish you.

Do you believe that? Is justice manifested in this life or the next?

Or not at all?

I do believe what goes around comes around. Which makes revenge much easier. All you have to do is sit back, wait and watch the fun. :)

I never thought of it that way, Kelly.
