These days you hear the word Karma pretty often, as in, “Eww, that’s some bad karma” or “Wait til Karma gets you” or “She must have good Karma.”
Personally, I don’t believe Karma is a tit-for-tat kind of thing. It’s more like, the energy you put out, the frequency you vibrate at, attracts similar. And when “bad” things happen, it is often an excellent opportunity to learn and grow.
Anyway, I’m not the expert, and am learning along with everyone else, but I really do like this definition from Paulo Coelho’s Aleph:
“…karma… It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.”
