Default karma

Where the hell did all this karma crap come from?
It seems like all the sudden everywhere I go everyone is talking about karma.
When did everyone start believing in Hindu?

If someone does something nice, it's usually natural to wish something nice upon the giver, so what would fall under that category? Karma...it's not a hindu thing, just something that people believe in to welcome nicer people in the world

The Pali term Karma literally means action or doing. Any kind of intentional action whether mental, verbal, or physical, is regarded as Karma. It covers all that is included in the phrase "thought, word and deed". Generally speaking, all good and bad action constitutes Karma. In its ultimate sense Karma means all moral and immoral volition. Involuntary, unintentional or unconscious actions, though technically deeds, do not constitute Karma, because volition, the most important factor in determining Karma, is absent.


I mean, it can't be proven, but its more of a "what comes around, goes around" sort of deal.

I have always followed Kharmic rule.

I only treat people as kindly as they treat me.
I also treat people the same as I expect to be treated.
If I can help someone out within reason then I do.
If a person is trying to use my kindness as weakness I eliminate them from my friendship.

Its not BS at all and I am not Hindu at all...its just a good basic rule to live by and if more people did then things would be a lot better than they are.
