loveinlife Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Just wondering do you guys/girls believe in what comes around goes around?
Pyro Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 I sure do, although you may not get to see it or hear about it yourself and it may not happen right away, but I do believe that saying.
Pyro Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Absolutely. Karma can be a major bitch too. Aren't the two the same thing?
Trialbyfire Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Aren't the two the same thing? So true. She bites too.
silentcharon Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Haha. You know how they also say payback's a bitch? I call myself payback
coco_milkshake Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 I have definitely seen it happen. My mum and sister never learn.
Pyro Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Haha. You know how they also say payback's a bitch? I call myself payback :lmao: You said it, not me.
Storyrider Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Not to be anal (like some) but it is "What goes around comes around." It goes out. It comes back.
Kwo-ne'-she Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 I believe it. It can take years, but eventually, in some way, people reap what they sowed.
ruby_gloom Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 No, absolutely not. 'Karma' is so overrated and most people don't even have a clear understanding of what it really is.
pelagicsands Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Not to be anal (like some) but it is "What goes around comes around." It goes out. It comes back. Sometimes you have to hit the bottom - repeatedly - so that you don't take life for granted. What is "going around" is what we call life, and what is "coming around" is simply the experiences we have. Good comes around, just like bad. Sometimes you just have to bend over and say "do your worst, and I am damn well going to enjoy it." You only get out of life what you put in. Well, unless you got a nice inheritance.
Author loveinlife Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 Yeah this question just came into my thought because so many things i have done this year has come back to me. *sigh* atleast i know that this exist. I won't try to do anything stupid anymore or atleast be more careful in what i do.
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Just wondering do you guys/girls believe in what comes around goes around? I very much believe so. I agree with Pelagic about the correlation between life and experiences. It's cyclical in nature, so you get what you give. Life is quirky and can throw an oddball at you at times, but what you do in reaction to it, is what you ultimately end up with.
Sk8away Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 I've seen it happen too many times not to believe in it. That's why thinking of revenge is a waste of time. People really do create their own karma--good and bad!
RecordProducer Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 The Karma thing can be logically explained for many cases and there are many stories and tales written about this topic. E.g. the story about the grasshopper and the ant. But there's luck involved as well. And sometimes injustice wins. Life is not always fair. The possibility of the OW ending up as a cheated wife is big, but doesn't impress me. The cases of mass murderers, dictators, and high-social-level criminals who never get punished is breaking my heart (e.g. Hitler, Stalin, Castro, etc.). Turn around and you'll see that the "law of bad karma" only works for insignificant individual cases. While you're thinking of revenge for your ex, there are people dying innocent, because somebody wants more money and power. Karma seems to avoid them!
mehim Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I had to, my best friend always told me that one day its going to happen. she was talking about my ex, I used to be in a bad relationship with him , it felt like I loved him at the time, and him he didnt show it at all if he did. so couple of years later evem when he went back to his home, which is a far far away, and he would still call me and and look pathetic to me. Since he knew I was with some one else who is much better than him. He is a loser, and he paid back for all the pain he caused me at the time. I didn't even have to do anything to get back at him, it just happened by itself, which proved to me that "what goes around comes around."
Trimmer Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Well, to some degree, I'm with ruby_gloom, in that I think we look to this popular idea of "karma" as some outside force that passes judgement on what people deserve and then rains down the consequences, and I don't think that is true. However, I do believe that we end up individually living in the environments we create for ourselves in many ways. In general terms, if you are a person ill-equipped to deal with relationships in healthy ways, you tend to end up with unhealthy relationships all around you, therefore it is likely that your life will show a pattern of difficulties appropriate to your deficits. On the other hand, if you are a generally healthy person with decent judgement, interpersonal skills, etc., you will tend to make good choices, collect healthy, supportive relationships around you, and so on, and your life will tend to run more smoothly in many ways. I see these as tendencies, not some kind of karmic laws. "Good" people still get the short end of the stick sometimes, and "lousy" people still have good luck sometimes, but I believe that healthy people generally stay healthy, and people with problems tend to repeat their mistakes until they change... I think that when we see the part of the evidence that supports our views, then we point and say "ooohhh, Karma!" And when we see counterexamples, they tend to fade into the background and we ignore them. If a wife who leaves her husband eventually crashes and burns, he will say "oh, she got what was coming to her; See? It works!", but if it turns out she ends up happy and successful in her life, he will just ignore that, and go on looking for other examples of how "karma" works...
bones Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I believe what goes around comes around. I am on the receiving end of coming back around and it is very painful. A bitch for sure. But-- I guess I had it coming.

The second and third paragraphs are so right on!
