Karma: a poll [View all]
Last edited Fri Mar 13, 2015, 09:21 AM - Edit history (2)
I believe in it. I can't prove it. Just a simple poll, that's all, not trying to troll. My track record is good.
ETA: I don't believe in reincarnation. I don't believe in blaming decent people and children for horrible things that happen. I guess I believe in a more forward-looking karma (do good and good eventually comes back to you, do bad and eventually bad comes back to you, etc ).
ETA2: Karma's obviously the wrong word for what I believe in. Definitely logical consequences, with liberal Christianity thrown in I guess. That puts me at odds with over half of DU, and I'm cool with that.

I have parking karma that goes with me even when I'm a passenger, not the driver.

How cool is it that you are such an awesome person that you are rewarded with choice parking spots?

Karma is one of those ideas so superficially reassuring people flock to embrace it.

Karma, as I understand it, is not just a simplistic system of rewards and punishments.

Karma is romanticised evil. Justification for the mistreatment of humans.

Ugh, one of many various beliefs in a "just world fallacy" that can be used to explain away...

The poll is fine, and yes it can be reduced to a simple concept. It is bullshit. Pure and simple.
