For me, karma is the long-term effect of our actions, intentions, and habits—it’s cause and effect, not a cosmic scorekeeper.
Do I believe in karma? Yes, in this sense. I believe what you put into the world shapes your path over time—your relationships, mindset, and opportunities. It’s subtle and cumulative, not instant.
Does karma mean revenge? No. Karma isn’t revenge because revenge requires intent to harm. Karma doesn’t decide or target anyone—it unfolds naturally. When harmful actions lead to isolation, mistrust, or repeated problems, that’s consequence, not payback.
Why? Because actions train outcomes. Kindness builds trust. Dishonesty erodes it. Patterns repeat until they’re changed. Karma is about responsibility and growth, not punishment.
