Karma - What does it really mean?
The English dictionary defines it as a "force or law or nature which causes one to reap what one sows."
It also means "destiny" or " fate."
It refers to cause and effect, actions as well as consequences of those actions.
The steps that you take at every given point in your life would most likely have consequences depending on whether the actions were good or bad.
Although, some persons have said that it doesn't always work like that; you mustn't have a bad result if you behave badly or have a good result if you do good deeds.
Karma is a principle of Hinduism and Buddhism which entails getting what you give.
From this, what you're giving is most likely what you get later on.
Some people have said;
"KARMA IS A BITCH"
This statement is not because Karma is evil but it's most likely just playing it's part.
For example, being mean and arrogant to people around you would mean that when you need help, most of those persons wouldn't want to help and you and some might go as far as using hurtful or cruel words on you because of how you treated them.
