Karma, as in "keeping score"......meaning if you say or wish bad on someone it will come back to get you?  No.......

I do believe in the law of averages, though.....sorta related.  If you go about your life acting like an asshole, and treat people poorly, eventually it will catch up to you......meaning you will get an ass kicking, not have a productive life, loving family, etc.

We all have a religious, spiritual part in ourselves, that is both genetical -already embeded in brai at birth- and acquired ; what your caregivers told you was good or bad while you grew up. Most occidental have judeo christian values deeply embeded in their brains because their ancestors followed them for centuries and at some point it impregnated itself genetically. We all believe "god" is punishing us for something we did, just like asians who were raised in buddhism believe in the laws of karma.

And there are people who believe in nothing and doubt all morals, hardcore atheists. You also have muslims, chinese who believe in confucius teachings... We all have base software, program that s inherited and that is reinforced by our environment and education. It forces us to cooperate, produce, be part of the system. If you re not part of the system you re useless and endanger it and will be recycled or destroyed, wether you re weak or old.

In all societies and animal or vegetal species tho it's the one who/ which adapts when the others cant that survive, and it pretty much has nothing to do with moral but simply with being adapted or not. Karma or god's will are i'm affraid only a reassuring artificial illusion and when you realize it you get pretty much depressed. People and animals just do what they have to do to survive and it 's often done at the expense of something or someone else. There is no longterm view in adaptation, most of the time it's here and now, and who cares about the future. Thinking too far , too deep about the future is often depressing as most intelligent people realize we re doomed to extinction as an animal specie. People who have been conditionned to kill instead of being killed here and now, dont think about others -only their family- have a lot more fun at life than people who care about doing it right for everyone.

This is why one never change the world, but adapts to it to survive in it. It helps a lot when caring parents or mentors did their best to adapt you to said environment from the getgo.
Hey moron, morals have nothing to do with religion and the most moral people haven been atheists as they do things because they are good, not because of fear of a sky daddy or to please a sky daddy.  Bill Gates, Richard Dawkins for example.

A new study suggests that religious people aren't more likely to do good than their nonreligious counterparts.

Look at how animals work, in nature documentaries; the weak and old is killed by predators, and everything is happening randomly. The strong calculate who is weak and easy to kill to feed themselves then attack. Needless to say, it's the same in the human specie. The strong prey on the weak and feed thesmelves with them. Randomly, the strong become weak and the weak become stronger once in a while. A constant random alternance of domination and submission , of victories, joy, and failures and pain.
We all exploit each others weaknesses to make a living for example. Everyjob , occupation, service exists to answer the need of someone else.
Everything is a business.

It is what it is.
Hey moron, elephants protect their old and ensure they are not killed by predators because elephants pass down knowledge from generation to generation.

I picked up a hitchhiker and he didn't even offer to blow me, so no.

I wouldn't have taken him up on it but it would have been nice if he'd at least honored basic hitching etiquette.
