Karmic Amnesia and Reasons Why Karma is B.S.

Karma never loses an address.

What goes around comes around and what comes around goes around.

In the dance of life, every action has a corresponding reaction of the same magnitude. For each give there is a take and a tit for every tat.

Such is the rule of life.

Like an ouroboros, life is cyclic and everyone gets what they dish. This idea of cosmic retribution keeps people going. It makes good people feel justified in the “good” they do and keeps a lot of undecided people from tumbling into the bad side of things. Like a thread, this belief in karma and karmic justice runs like a thread across different religions, irreligions, and schools of thought:

Actions are like boomerangs; you give what you get

Do unto others what you want to be done unto you

You get what you deserve and what you get, you deserve

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness (James 3:18)

Let us not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9–10)

Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to those who search for it (Proverbs 11:27)
