Do You Believe In Karma?

“Karma never loses an address.” Or so the proponent of this cause-effect principle believes.

The argument has long existed where there is such a thing as Karma that implies one reaps what he sows. And the skepticism might seem quite fitting for there are many, even in the public domain, who gets more in return despite their bad intent.

However, on the flip side, one must also consider the staggering number of examples that underscores the positive feasibility of Karma — good get good, bad gets bad… eventually, if not immediately.

In fact, this has been the fundamental principle of so many successful investors, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and history’s other eminent figures.

When you do good, it creates a positive energy around you. And this positive energy goes on to do good to you. The opposite is just as true. When you do something bad, the negative energy around you delivers you something equally bad.

But it’s okay if you don’t exactly believe in Karma. In the same breath, you also cannot deny that being kind is never bad.

You Will Never Regret Being Kind

Doing good never hurts you. Being nice to others, kind to strangers, helpful to everyone who needs help and just passing a sincere smile to everyone you see — these things never hurt. You will never regret doing them.

Plus, psychologically, they would also make you feel much better about yourself, improving your self-esteem and confidence.

For that matter, donation and philanthropy are highly recommended by everyone whenever you’re feeling down, hopeless or with poor esteem. Many might not embrace its spiritual significance which is linked to Good karma, no one can also deny that doing these things foster a feeling of gratitude, which positively shapes our understanding and hence the reality.

Indeed, the scope and virtues of philanthropy and good karma are very diverse and in-depth. It is one of the things Gautam Baid discusses in his book The Joys of Compounding: The Passionate Pursuit of Lifelong Learning.
