Imagine a man that always donate clothes and feeds the homeless. This man regularly visits children with terminal illnesses and is one of the largest donors to Susan G. Komen for the Cure non-profit organization. He is viewed by tens of thousands as a saint, heaven sent or a reincarnation of Jesus himself. A just man in the eyes of many, but this man has twisted dark secrets; which involve human trafficking, murder of any competitor and extortion of politicians. The man is an unjust person by nature but is viewed as just.…
The idea of how just a couple words or small actions can completely turn another person’s world upside down is almost mind boggling. However, people only realize this when they get hurt or humiliated, but they are inflicting this pain onto others they decide not to care. The same effect takes place with positivity. People do not realize how amazing they can make another person feel until someone else passes in this happiness to them. The effect that others can have on each other is either extremely beautiful or awfully horrid.…

Sometimes, people are quick, too quick to think about their actions and just do things for nothing. This injures people mentally and physically, with hurtful words or dangerous actions. But even if you are supposed to be hurting someone else, without thinking about the odds, it will come back to you in what people call karma. But in the story “The Fight” by Adam Bagdasarian, Will, the main character, notices how such small simple thing can take your world on a rollercoaster on what once used to be a peaceful merry-go-round. This is shown by using violence instead of words, how he regrets his words, and how he trusted the wrong people.…
Using this example, the author teaches bad karma. The Nazis soldiers took everything from the Jewish victims and the Jews were usually the ones scared and begging for food while being starved. The situation gets turned around and the Nazis men are the ones starving and asking for food. They are becoming scared because the Red Army is coming and the Nazis know what they did was wrong and it is coming to bite them in the butt. The author teachers her readers that karma is a true principle and people do get what they deserve in the end whether it is good or…
Karma is a concept directly related to the belief in reincarnation, an individual's karma (earthly conduct) determining the position into which they are born in the next life. Liberation from the cycle of suffering and rebirth (moksha) is the chief aim in life. Moksha is attained through completion of the four stages of life (ashramas) and signifies a return to Brahman, the universal world soul.…

Imagine you wake up and you’re on your way to an important work meeting, when all of a sudden you catch a flat tire. Some will take this situation and simply tell you that you have bad luck, while others will believe that in some way “negative” karma is finding its way back to you, because it’s believed that you actually deserved the flat tire for what you’ve done in the past. As human beings, we all tend to analyze situations differently. The Just World Phenomenon implies that the world is fair and everyone will ultimately get what he or she deserves. According to Lerner’s just-world theory , people need to believe that this world is a just and fair place where people get what they deserve.…

The aged cliche which states “What goes around, comes around” has been tied directly to the concept of Karma. Karma is defined in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary as “the force created by a person 's actions that some people believe causes good or bad things to happen to that person.” Karma is categorized into two specific sections; positive karma, along with negative karma. Positive karma is simply defined as if you perform “good” actions, “good” things will occur. Negative karma is the exact opposite of that, therefore negative karma is when “bad” things occur due to a person 's “bad” actions.…
Karma is the sum of a person 's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences (Google). For instance, the horrific tale of the Rokuj lady is that passion to an extreme point is dangerous. The Rokuj lady jealous passion was so intense that it caused her to have destructive impacts (possession) on people that she had been around, which happened to include Yugao and Aoi. This relates to Karma as Genji was the cause of her jealousy. Genji had neglected her as he was busy with his multiple lovers.…
In Hinduism, the concepts of dharma and karma are essential components of the religion, and they are invariably interlinked, both with each other, and the structure of the Hindu community, known as the Caste System. The term dharma is problematic in translation, with a range of suggestions such as ‘law,’ ‘duty,’ and ‘religion’ (Flood, G. 2004, p.52). The term, in short, refers to ritual and moral behaviours which are necessary to uphold to maintain cosmic order, or rta. (Flood, G. 2004, p.53; Rodrigues, H. 2017, p.30). Karma is the concept which expresses that any moral action, good or bad, will have consequences in this life or in a future rebirth (Rodrigues, H. 2017, p.63-4).…
Karma means action, and refers to intentional physical, verbal, or mental action (Chodron, 2001, p.59). Cause and effect means we get the result of our own action. According to Buddhism, the cause of happiness is virtuous karma, the law of causality and delusion. Therefore, happiness can be achieved through acts of virtue and selflessness in this life. Similarly, as stated by Dorji (2010), the four pillars of GNH can then be considered as conditions for attaining happiness and well-being of a nation by the creation of good karma.…
