Thread title says it all really, i personally do,
i found £10 on the floor at work the other day, my collegue said keep it but i handed it in to the manager incase it was from one of the tills. a few minutes later i went and bought a scratchcard and to my amazement i won £10 :D
call it luck if you will, but i think do good and good things will happen to you.
No I don't. It's bogus claptrap.
But I do believe in treating other people the way you'd like to be treated yourself.

No. There are too many good people get worse done by than the truly horrible people.
I prefer to believe in Korma, it gives me a better feeling when it goes right

What is karma?
Karma is a Sanskrit word that literally means "action". The word is used to refer to volitional acts as well as the forces that arise from these acts. The idea of karma had existed in ancient Indian philosophy before the time of Siddhartha Gautama, and it became an important element of Buddhist philosophy.
The Hindu and Buddhist concepts of karma are quite similar, although Hinduism makes a further distinction between different types of karma, such as present karma, latent karma, and future karma. In the understanding of both thought systems, the law of karma describes the connection between actions and the resulting forces, as follows: wholesome actions lead to wholesome states while unwholesome actions lead to unwholesome states, individually as well as collectively.
In my experience it does kinda work that way.
I used to.
But now I agree with this:
No, i believe everything is random.
I've witnessed too much cr*p happening to nice people to believe it any more.

Put out good vibes, get back good vibes. Its the way of the cosmos i think. call it karma or treating people as you would expect to be treated, or call it a horse.
i dont care for the name (tho i say karma all the time to describe it) but i do try and put the good vibes out.
i too have seen too many nice people suffer for no seemilngly good reason but then i wonder if they did something terrible that i just dont know about and now its the time for karma to come bite them in the butt for it.

Nah mate, it means "sieze the fish". Close but no cigar.
I prefer Chicken Tarka...... like tikka but 'otter :-)
Not really. Good and bad things happen to everyone and I don't see a pattern in all honesty...just everyone gets a bit of each at some point in time!

i believe in doing good cause you want to do good, not because you want good done back to yourself.
let me try and explain how i see it.
the philosophy behind karma (imho) is flawed because you expect to recieve what you dish out....if you think about it thats quite a selfish attitude.
if on the other hand you do a deed just for the sake of it, without even a thought about the returning consequence then surely that is at a higher level of spiritual awareness.
maybe im wrong but fundamentaly my day to day routine revolves around not upsetting anyone or anything around me.
It helps me relax knowing that my vibes are peaceful and without conflict.
Peace & love

You think good things happen to bad people but they will have done something good in the recent past regardless of their effect on you.
Regardless of whether you believe in it or not it's a strong principle to live your life by. If everyone ran by this principle the world would be a far better place.

Interesting point- I believe that in the Buddhist belief this is very important- ultimately, giving to receive as you say is a selfish act and therefore not worthy of increasing your karma in the long run.
Giving just for giving is ultimately selfless and far more virtuous and beneficial.

I never believed in karma before, I have seen some pretty horrendous things in my life and the way people treat each other and animals.
However people always used to say the 'goes around comes around thing' and I never believed it, but I do believe that in time if you are a good person that you will be happy in your life, if you are cruel and nasty and spiteful, you will attract others with similar attitudes and your life will be miserable.
I always try to do good by people, I have a happy life and good friends and I hope that its because I have been kind, loyal and caring rather than a doormat.

That makes a whole lot of sense to me. Random Acts of Kindness are the way forward. Sod what you get back for it.
But then, it depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm bored, I'll either do some RAoK, or wind someone up. So I suppose it sort of balances itself at some point.
