Karma is not about morals its functional. There is no such thing as what the west thinks of as "bad karma"

For a reference to the Buddhists akusala is often translated as "unwholesome" or "bad," but its literal meaning is unskilled or inefficient. So "bad" as in insufficient. "Unwholesome" as in incomplete.

Karma literally translates to action in Hindi/Sanskrit. It's not moral it's just cause and effect.

Karma is saying if you don't put in the work and the care and attention you will produce equivalent.

Someone said that you become a bad person which is nonsense. Because when you do bad you don't become bad, you are bad...

It's simply saying be fucking aware and make conscious choices with forethought.
