Do You Believe In "what Goes Around Comes Around"?

[🪦 Bear ●]

Wow, never thought we'd talk about Philosophy on NIGHTOWL.Karma is a concept in which explains causality through a system where beneficial effects are derived from past beneficial actions and harmful effects from past harmful actions, creating a system of actions and reactions throughout a person's reincarnated lives. The basic "Circle of Life" story.Karma" literally means "deed" or "act", and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction, which some believe governs all life. It is believed that only beings that can distinguish right from wrong, such as adult humans, who can accumulate Karma. Animals and young children are not considered to accumulate Karma as they are incapable of discriminating between right and wrong. However, all sentient beings can feel the effects of Karma, which are pleasure and pain. Karma is not fate; humans are believed to act with free will, creating their own destinies. According to the Vedas, if an individual sows goodness, he or she will reap goodness; if one sows evil, he or she will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of mankind's actions and their concommitant reactions in current and previous lives, all of which determine the future. However, many karmas do not have an immediate effect; some accumulate and return unexpectedly in an individual's later lives. The conquest of karma is believed to lie in intelligent action and dispassionate reaction.Unkindness yields spoiled fruits, called papa, and good deeds bring forth sweet fruits, called punya. As one acts, so does he become: one becomes virtuous by virtuous action, and evil by evil action.So, Karma is much like religion, if you belive in it, then it does exist. The bible even metions Karma a couple of timeso not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A person reaps what he sows. (Gal. 6:7)All things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.(Matthew 7:12)In fact, almost every mainstream religion teaches us about the consequences of our actions. The explanations may differ, but does it really matter in the end whether the law of karma causes us trouble or God himself in his final judgement? Watch your thoughts, for they become words.Watch your words, for they become actions.Watch your actions, for they become habits.Watch your habits, for they become character.Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.Just my two cents...
