No.
Karma is for the selfish (no offense to religious believers).
Its like saying, "I gotta do something good so that something good can happen to me."

First, the scenario. Let's say there are two morally upright men who have never committed a wrong in either of their lives. Now, according to Karma, they have nothing but good in their future, correct? So let's say one of them decides to shoot the other, enacting evil upon the only remaining innocent. How is that possible, though? Why did Karma suddenly strike down this innocent man who had never done a single wrong in his life? Why did Karma allow that?
How do your personal beliefs address this idea?
Through the beliefs of karma, because that man died a great and morally good man through his life, he would rise in the social ladder. The other man would fall down on the ladder.Quote:

No good deed, or bad deed, is unaffected by karma

Since by most public opinion I am a selfish man (Which by most public opinion is a bad thing), I guess I will see if Karma exists when I am reincarnated as a fly.
Wow many of you have a skewed defintition of Karma. in religious Hindu texts Karma is phrased to sound much like the golden rule in christianity.
So it was basically a rule that was added to the Gita to make sure that people wouldnt kill people willy nilly.
also the Hindus believe in Hell and heaven and in many cases in the Gita people who go unpunished in the world are punished in hell. Its sorta similar to the christian views just that as beliefs of Karma travelled aroudn the world the definition got "more mystical" wherein essence it really isnt.
