Religion and Theology

Question 1.

When people do something immoral, they will experience the wrong they have done in equal
measure sooner or later. This is known as the philosophy of karma. The notion of karma is a term used
to describe the concept that a person’s intentions and deeds have an inherent impact on their future. If
a person has good intentions, it will lead to good karma and will, in turn, affect a similar good deed to be
done unto them. On the other hand, bad intentions and wrong actions contribute to bad karma.
Therefore, there are repercussions whether one acts with good or evil intentions. As a result, karma
might be regarded as a chain of actions and reactions: if we do good, we will get good in return and vice
versa.

Question 2.

I agree with this statement. I believe this is the premise of the concept of karma which I
explained above. It is a saying similar to, “you reap what you sow.” In simple terms, this concept
explains that Just about anything we speak and do impacts the events that will unfold in our lives in the
future. Whether good or bad, helpful or hurtful, all actions are recorded and appear as a karmic
consequence. There is no precise formula that can be used to predict how and when karmic
repercussions will manifest themselves in people’s lives. However, we can be sure that they will
somehow manifest themselves. One can get away with murder, infidelity, or avoiding paying taxes.
However, according to the laws of karma (what goes around, comes around), no one can get away with
bad behavior for an extended period. They will also get the same treatment from another person if they
do.

Question 3.

I agree with this statement. I think the concept of karma is related to a divine being who enacts
the repercussions of a person’s actions. I don’t think there’s a huge difference between the second and
the third question. While the second question asks about the concept of the saying “what goes around,
comes around,” which can be associated with karma, the third question reminds us that God controls
karma.
