Well money can really not buy happiness... Not to say rich people can't be happy: a number actually are. Money on its own cannot buy/bring happiness.

Karma ...

I see a lot of 'if you sleep with married men, your husband will cheat on you' thingy as a perfect example of 'karma'...

I don't believe it though; sounds wack what is now the Karma for the cheating husband?

I believe we reap what we sow ... There is also the place of repentance and forgiveness

Jacob deceived Issac and Laban cheated him (Though we never heard of any evil that happened to Laban) and Jacob later became much more greater than Laban.

Leah deceived Jacob(connived with her daddy) and had it all (kids on time and buried at the family burial ground and died at an old age) while Rachael seemed to lose out ( though her son Joseph was the greatest of Jacob's kids)

David killed Uriah (Bathsheba's husband) and the love child died though his second son with her became the wisest king of all time (his end is debatable)

Abraham lied that Sarah was his sister to Abimelech and God threatened to make everyone in Abimelech's home barren instead of punishing Abraham.

Rebekah planned with Jacob to deceive Issac yet we did not read anything bad happening to her

I believe reaping or karma if you will is selective and there is the place of destiny, grace and choice

i believe karma exists not the way we ordinarily want it but the way the maker of the universe fashions it.
you see, every evil you do is a boemerang.not just the evils but the goods.when you do good to all with a good heart, good come your way.yes bad things do happen to good people but it may have been worse.maybe their good deeds mitigated against the force of evil coming their way and all we see is a mere scratch compared to what would have happened afterall we do not have a third eye.the same applies to bad deeds.
however i think what matters most is the intention.every deed be it good or bad has 2 sides.the intention and the actual act.if you step on my toes with your highheeled shoe unknowingly and apologise, i may not forgive you but God will forgive you but when you do same just to inflict pain on me because i may be smarter( or whatever) then you may never go free.your punishment may delay but the may it delays the more grevious it will be...

Karma is freaking real, years ago when I was still young went to this video store in Akure and stole a vhs cassette tape. Took it home and hid it in my wardrobe with all the new clothes my brother sent me from London. Travelled to Lagos came back days later and my wardrobe have been overrun by termites destroying all my new clothes

Another time I knowinly cheated a guy of about $20 and within days I was in an accident that caused me $1000 to repair my car after the insurance turn down my claim.

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” - Jessica Brody

For some reason this karma talk always
sound unreal cause i keep asking:
"Why do bad things happen to Good People?"

The political elite class in Naija that has ruined lives & killed a lot of people during the military era are still lounging. Some will live their natural life span, comfy till death without any reppercussion.

So many people have gotten away with doing terrible things.

Sometimes, I think Life is more suited to Darwins postilation :
"You adapt or die" survival of the fittest.

Personally, i think Karma is one of those
Human talk that has no bearing on real life
scenario's... I rate it alongside talk like "Money cant buy you happiness".

P.S I did not post this in the religion section because as a Christian, similar to karma, you reap what you sow and there's a high possibility you won't reap it on earth.

I would prefer people share real life experiences.

Karma as espoused here is not the Buddhist's concept, which is much deeper than what is argued here.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.

A lot of bad people have still gone unpunished and lots of good folks suffer. How do we explain that?
