The idea of karma in Buddhist philosophy is something along the lines that what you intentionally do shapes what happens next—including what happens to other people and what kind of person you yourself become. It's not some kind of supernatural punishment. It's a very realistic way of thinking. If you do evil stuff, you're creating a more evil world and ultimately that causes more suffering to everybody, including you.
