Administrator Stan 18,397 Posted March 23, 2022 Administrator Share Posted March 23, 2022 Do you believe in it? Do good in this life and you'll be rewarded in the next. Be a bad person and you'll get your comeuppance, karma will get you etc... Appreciate there may a religious influence behind whether you believe in it or not, or determine how you feel about it if you think it exists...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 In a religious sense no only because it can't be proven.... Would be nice to think that proper cunts get their comeuppance in the afterlife or their next one if such a thing exists though, it's a nice thought but that's all it is... I prefer observable instant Karma... got time for that all day long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander 166 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I believe in the concept of Karma and think there are things you are meant to clear in this lifetime and other karma you might create in this lifetime. I have had ESP experiences and so read a lot about it and other ESP phenomena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,330 Posted March 23, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted March 23, 2022 I don't believe in reincarnation/afterlife, and I also don't believe that there's some justice system in cosmos that rewards good deeds and punishes bad ones. What I do believe though is that every action has a reaction - a simple law of cause and effect, if you wish - and not as much in relation to others, but moreso to ourselves. Our actions shape our habits and attitudes, which in turn shape our experiences and the way we see and experience reality. So yeah, I do believe in "Karma" if you equate it to some sort of mental/spiritual/psychological version of Newton's Third Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,207 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Nope. Think it’s a bit reductive tbh. Agree with @nudge though in that if you carry yourself with a certain type of energy or emotion then you’ll probably get that back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,364 Posted March 24, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted March 24, 2022 Glen Hoddle was sacked as the England manager when he said to a newspaper that disabled people are affected by karma from past lives. https://www.theguardian.com/football/1999/jan/30/newsstory.sport7 I do believe in reincarnation and reckon we are all reborn again after we die, it's like daffodils, they spring up nearing summertime then die off but come back the next summer.

That was a sad way for Hoddle to go. He had done well managing Chelsea then got the England job and we were doing quite well until Beckham's moment of petulance and then that car park of an interview sealed his fate at the top level. Of course a generation later he is back as a pundit from the football wilderness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted March 28, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted March 28, 2022 I don't believe in the afterlife or reincarnation as such but like nudge said, I believe in the instant karma and the butterfly effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in reincarnation so anything I do in this life is fairly reflected in how I 'return/enter' the next, whenever that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
