Nope, I don't believe in ****.

Sometimes bad people have bad things happen to them and good people have good things happen to them but I can't believe some supernatural force has anything to do with it. Plenty of great people have ****ty things happen to them, plenty of ****ty people have great things happen to them. I think reincarnation is a part of the cycle too, according to Buddhists and such but I don't believe in that either. It's all a craps shoot as far as I'm concerned and I'm not fool enough to bet on anything so unpredictable.

I don't believe in karma in the classical sense - as in some powerful, mystical, all encompassing force that judges all and dishes out reward and punishment. But I do believe that every man is his own hangman, that we feel worse when we f*ck others over, and feel better when we are kind and compassionate. That's the karma I believe in.

Yea, I believe in karma in that it's a word we use to describe a phenomenon of cause and effect.
As far as people who elevate the concept to some sort of spiritual level, personally, I think those people need a few electric shocks to the brain.

I think anyone with a brain agrees with this. If you're a douche to people, then a lot more people will be against you than if you're not, and sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost. Needs no mystical hoodoo.
