That's why I said 'of course'.
I don't have to believe the Miriam Webster version of karma, Google boi.
I didn't Google, boi. You must have.:mellow:
Do you believe that if you are honest to person A that person W will be honest with you?
I mean I get the "I was nice to person A, person A will be nice back." I'm talking person A/W that have nothing to do with
each other.
Do you not believe in anything that you can't see or prove...faith mate,faith

Ok then.
I hear this scenario all the time where some fella knocked someone over the head and took his money.
A year later a piano drops on head and he dies.
And then "Seeeee, that shit came back on him from when he stole that money.":ermm:
Here's another..What if the guy never stole money?
Answer: Well the piano probably dropped on his head for some other shit he did.
:dabs:
I guess even in the absence of belief in God we humans will find comfort in something.

I was rodding you because you hate being pulled up about googling.
As for being nice to person A correlating with person W being nice back to you - well, provided person A isn't a deaf, blind mute; good word spreads just as quickly as bad. They don't have to be connected to each other - just by proxy.
Being good to people as a general principle means that it's more likely that people are going to do good stuff back to you - not a guarentee or anything but it's better than the alternative. I call that karma.
Other people might call it something else, I duno.

It's word of mouth.
It's what made me see The Sixth Sense when I previously wouldn't have.
It also helps businesses and stuff.
I'm nice to people just because. If I help someone I'd do it with the comfort of no one else finding out about it.

I had this debate with some folks at work.
It's a common saying, "What goes around come around."
I believe, "Not necessarily."
manker's belief is actually sensible. It's how some businesses do well. It's a direct correlation.
Some people make a correlation between 2 disparate events. They never link in any way besides the fact of the bad/good deed done and the perceived reward/punishment. This is what I disagree with.
