A lot of people say they believe in "karma" I have one simple question "why?".
I mean it stands to reason that if you go around being an asshole to people they might eventually start being an asshole back.
But I mean in the cosmic justice sense.
- ChikkaChiChi 14y agoBecause its easier to turn the other cheek if you think the person currently screwing you over will have it eventually catch up to them. I don't think everyone who says "karma" is really referring to the interconnected balance of all the things in the universe. I think they just mean, "Golden Rule, bitches."
- mistermann 14y agoWhen people refer to karma, they don't mean it literally, it's meant more in the sense of "reputation".
- keyboardP 14y agoI think that's more on sites like Reddit where the "karma" relates to the number of upvotes you have. General use of karma is basically saying "what goes around, comes around". It's a derivative of the concept from dharmic religions.
- jiggy2011 14y agoI don't know, maybe that is true here but I've met a significant number of people who seem to think it is an actual thing. I've heard arguments such as "I know god exists because karma exists" which just seems like nonsense to me.
- megablast 14y agoPlenty of people literally believe in Karma. Also, on the other side, your reputation of being an asshole can get around pretty quickly.
