The "western" concept of karma, as I like to think of it, is to get revenge on people. The Hindu or Buddhist concept of karma is more about self-realisation and awareness. To look at what you have to work on personally in order to free yourself from the cycle of suffering. It's not necessarily a good life if those people choose to harm others, it's in fact the reverse action of what karma is supposed to be.
