Do you believe in Karma (what goes around comes around)?
Have you experienced or know someone who experienced it?

What goes around is likely to come around would be a better way to phrase it. In that case, yeah sure. If I go around being a dick to everyone it's only a matter of time before someone comes and breaks my nose. Makes sense.

Basically, what Rawal said.(Brrr I love his name) If you're a dickhead, you will get punched in the face sooner or later. If you're a nice bitch(like me!), you'll get punched lightly in the face. Basically, whatever you do has a consequence. But if you're kind and you do good deeds, don't expect the same to happen to you. Don't help others because you think that's gonna give you good karma, do it because you think it's the right thing to do.
You can be the nicest, sweetest, loveliest person in the world and be used and kicked in the face. You can be an asshole and people will treat you well because they fear you.
But generally, you get what you deserve. Not because "karma" per say, but because that's just how the world works.

Not outside of fairy tales, cartoons and sitcoms. I think it's silly tbh.
If it makes you feel better I guess...*shrugs*

I think karma is mostly a kind of internal ideology. If you genuinely think what you are doing is bad when you do it, then you have done something bad. As a consequence, you will feel regret and anxiety about it later on. Equally, if you do bad things to people they will give you less attention and will do less things for you than otherwise. Karma definitely works out, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a spiritual thing (i.e. what Westerners call "luck") rather than something that just naturally happens in human beings.

Well if you're mean then you're likely to have someone to be mean to you,vise versa with being nice.
I think the whole what goes around comes around is accurate ,but could also just be a thing to help keep ourselves in line,with morals and what not :P.

I believe that Karma is a state of mind...

Karma is a superstition. A way to explain something.
It's comforting knowing that the dick who kicked you is going to suffer, though.

Yeah, most people don't want to face the reality that the dick who kicked you is actually gonna grow up to be a cop.

Yeah I suppose everyone has a different view on this topic. I mean there are those that get away with so much and never hung for it. And like one of you said you could be uber nice but still get shat on. It's weird this universe. But karma is likely to also be a state of mind.

I think of it more like a law of averages. You deal enough shit, and eventually the odds are stacked against you enough that you'll get some back. Just my opinion.
