Karma is defined by dictionary.com as “an action, seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation.” This means that you control your life’s outcome with the decisions that you make. If you live a good life and are nice to people you will be rewarded. If you are a bad person you will be punished by Karma. In the video the guy said, “Everything happens for a reason.” I believe that, but I believe that God makes everything happen for a reason not Karma. While karma seems at first to hold some Christian principle in the end it falls short. At first this could seem like the logical answer to life: good people are rewarded while bad people are punished. This seems fair but Karma doesn’t answer a lot of basic questions. According to Karma what is evil? What is good? Is there a universal right and wrong or are they relevant to the situation? Karma fails to answer these crucial questions. If there is a universal right and wrong then where did it come from? If Karma is true then that means that everyone who is poor or has a disability must have lived a sinful life because they are not as fortunate as others. Karma just doesn’t answer any of the basic questions about this world we live in therefore it is a fictitious world-view.
