Karma is the idea that the actions of a person will come back to him at some future date through the forces of the universe. Karma can work in both positive and negative directions. For example, a person who treats others well may not see the immediate benefits of those actions but can trust karma to come back around with a reward in the future. On the other hand, a person who doesn’t treat others well might have good reason to hope karma doesn’t exist.
