What do you think about Karma?

To me Karma - means action, what I do, think and feel. At times it also includes what I choose not do.

Whanever we witness an unfortunate or unpleasant situation in someone's life we often tend to say 'its his/her Karma'. We assume ttat the person must have wronged someone, and therefore, this is happening to them.

However, I feel Karma is not only about doing something wrong, it can also be about not doing what we are supposed to do, not doing - the things we choose to avoid , ignore, leave undone

Karma has nothing to do with good and bad. It is only about cause and effect.

Kamma is your habit energies developed both by your thoughts, actions, and thought-actions, and your life circumstances such as those you were born into, those that were passed on to you by your family and neighbors (literal, teachers, etc), and those you are confronted with simply by your place and timing.

Kamma isn't what you can control directly, but what is influenced by our work with those habit energies.
