Life inevitably deals us all unexpected circumstances, we must learn to expect the unexpected, which is the unfolding of both Karma and what might be termed, 'the flow of existence' which is in all things, it is inescapable and transcends human understanding.
No I don't. I think it's a concept folk would like to be true as it would seem fair, so many choose to believe it's so. There's nothing to support it save coincidences held up as evidence while a multitude more times where nothing happened are conveniently ignored.
Mozz, I have only just seen that. And I don't see any difference. Even having a talent, shouldn't overrule that you are a murderer...

I don't believe in coincidences: and were you not told at a young age that you 'reap what you sow' ?
Why don't you believe in coincidences?

So Khandro, isn't he reaping what he sowed?
Coincidences are inevitable.
Magic retribution isn't.
// the usual quasi libtard self worship from him.//

I called him an ignoramus - but luckily he didnt understand me ,,,,

I feel guilty about wishiing ill of someone -
I don’t wish pain on anyone and I don’t seek retribution ever because that's futile. In my opinion a short, sharp, painless lethal injection, as we’d do with any mad dog that savagely rips someone to bits, would have saved all this fuss and expense - and the world would have been a better place a lot sooner. I’ll shed no tears at his demise.
That creature should have been shot dead instead of being arrested. Karma’s a ***.
Atheist //I have an inbuilt aversion and distrust of lynch-mobs. The person went through legal process and sentence and now some people are cheering his extra punishment.//

That's not a lynch mob then. No one here ganged up and injected him with the Coronavirus. It happened that he caught it, and none of us cares if he dies. In answer to the question, I don't believe in Karma.
Yes, I believe in Karma. Because there is a proverb "As you sow so you reap"
Also: They that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
If this worthless piece of garbage deteriorates any further, I hope they don't waste a ventilator on him.

Yes I believe in karma and I hope he rots in hell.
To believe in Karma in the sense of the evil-doers getting their ‘just rewards’ is both childish wishful thinking and a misinterpretation of the notion of Karma.

The evil-doers rarely get their just rewards. Just consider how this country’s vast wealth is still concentrated in the hands of the same families as it was a century ago.

To believe in Karma you must also believe in rebirth, for your Karma is worked out in future lives.
If you believe in karma be careful what you wish for. Vengeance cuts both ways.
In my experience believing is overrated. Beliefs seem to exist in inverse proportion to knowledge.
Justice is among humanities highest moral principles. Justice requires an ability to determine what is just through an understanding of its corollaries which are responsibility and accountability. Justice is requisite to civilisation but in its pursuit be prepared equally to be judged.
MIBs. Yes. We are all guilty of something.
Individually or as a society.
Difficult to get right always.

Nice to see you posting.
See you more often maybe?
'Travers Christmas Humphreys, QC was an English barrister who prosecuted several controversial cases in the 1940s and 1950s, and later became a judge at the Old Bailey. He also wrote a number of works on Mahayana Buddhism and in his day was the best-known British convert to Buddhism. Wikipedia'

He was also a founder of the Buddhist society https://www.thebuddhistsociety.org/ which still thrives today & his book from the 50's 'Buddhism' is one of the earliest books on the subject in English & I believe is still in print.

With reference to the OP & Karma; when as a judge he convicted an offender at the Old Bailey he would would say before passing sentence, "I want you to be quite clear, you are not being punished FOR what you have done, you are being punished BY what you have done."

Bad things, like good luck generally just seem to happen. So no to an idea of Karma and I would not wish I'll on him no matter how terrible his crime, and it was truly terrible.
If I wish ill on someone that creates in my mind, and to my mind negative energy. I can't wish him well so will not wish him anything merely note that he is another victim of this pandemic and he will live or die depending I suspect on the care of a culture he so obviously despised.
Wise words..
