Karma

Do we all get what we deserve?

Is there no crime/wrong that goes unpunished? No good deed that goes unrewarded?

Discuss...

Spoiler:
This might not really belong in the Philosophy section. If you agree, Move at your will, Mods

I doubt something as that exists, there are crimes that go unpunished there are good deeds that go unrewarded

"A good deed is a reward in its own."

(I think Karma belongs in Philosophy fairly well)

true but then again how does one define a good deed?

Speaking in terms such as, how does one define a crime/ a wrong?

A good deed, in my opinion, is an act in which one does something to better, assist, aid, another.

maybe but that means you can not do a good act for yourself?

That is what is known as being SELFISH. 😉

Besides, how would Karma work if you did a good deed for yourself? Would you be rewarded for doing something nice for yourself?

I believe in Karma--what goes around comes around. It is seldom obvious, but I've witnessed it many times... I don't necessarily attribute it to any mystical quality though....

probably not SG, but then again I don't believe in Karma,

small example: good deed for yourself, keeping your body in shape, reward for self, a long life.

I kicked somebody in the crotch, and the did the same to me-Karma?

What is to say that a long life is going to be a reward? 😉

true, but this only shows that things like rewards and good and bad deeds are very subjective 🙂

For arguements sake... let us set up a generalization for Good deeds, rewards, etc, so that this discussion can be continued.

hehe.

Is the aforementioned definition of a Good Deed okay?

for me it's all fine SG, I was just laughing because you're gonna be faced with a lot of this stuff in this section of the forum

What? Semantics?

no idea what semantics means mate

but I ment ppl who will challenge a lot of things even the most basic of things.

Karma? As in the Hindu and Buddhist philosophy according to which the quality of people’s current and future lives is determined by their behavior in this and in previous lives? Hmm... I can't really say yes. But then again I can't say no. Is really hard to say whether it exist or not. I more incline to say yes! Since I consider myself a spiritual person it would be contradictory to refute the posiblity of it's existence.

No one answered my question......🤨
