You know the saying 'what goes around, comes around'? It is often used in relation to karma. When i was very much younger i never gave a second thought about doing anything whether right or wrong. But as i got older i usually think of the consequences of my actions and how it might actually come back to haunt me. I am now a strong believer in Karma 'Doing something to someone, how would i feel if someone else did that to me? would i be able to accept it? ' questions like this are asked over and over again inside my head. Once upon a time, i had a very good friend (girl) and she always have this arguments with her boyfriend. And everytime she would come complaining to me, sayin bad stuff about her significant other. I used to think that her then boyfriend didn't deserve her and that he really wasn't such a nice person...But i was so wrong to think that way, when finally one day i discovered the truth. Few years later that friend of mine, broke up and got together with another guy. Things were going well for them, when one day she caught him having sex with her then best friend. That dealt a serious blow to her and made her realise all the hurt that she caused to her ex. Because in truth whatever she complained to me sayin that her bf cheated on her was nothing but a lie...reason for doing so is to make me think that she is the victim but in reality it was the other way around. She finally concluded that this recent case was nothing but 'retribution', some form of payment for what she has done to others in the past and therefore 'What goes around, comes around' or karma.
There are many more stories that i can relate this too, real experiences from myself as well as buddies of mine. But karma on the other hand is not all things bad, as a matter of fact it actually works both ways. So if you perform a good deed you will definately get rewarded however you never know how you are gonna be rewarded la of course. For example, donating to a cause might actually reap some rewards monetarily...but not necessarily. I learnt this from a buddy of mine, that the more you give, the more your reward. Because by giving more you are sacrificing more and its only right that you reward should be greater as well. Although now adays we tend to joke about karma, anything bad that happens we usually just go oh no, bad karma...then we would laugh about it. But i honestly believe that it is true just like the saying 'You reap what you sow'.

Of course I believe in Karma! If we could just sit down and think and reflect what we have done in the past.. Maybe we'll sort of all the "WHY-s" in our head..
