Most humans think about the world in a framework of justice. I believe this innovation started with Zoroastrianism and then spread to post-exilic Judaism which, of course, led to Christianity and Islam. One of the defining characteristics of Zoroastrianism was its emphasis not just on accountability, but on individual accountability. More info: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Zoroastrianism http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Zoroastrianism Vedic religions have different historical roots (although both Vedic religions and Zoroastrianism share a common Aryan heritage). Vedic religions, therefore, have less of a sense of justice and I wonder if there is less of the Just-World Fallacy there. If you think that the concept of karma is the Vedic religions' take on justice, then you may be misunderstanding karma. Vedic religions don't have a strong concept of the individual self, so "you reap what you sow" doesn't quite capture the concept because there is no definite "you".
