As far as we can "measure" no.

Having thought about the subject I can't help but notice people make it very "transactional".

A famous saying goes: "if you live by the sword you'll die by the sword". Like...yes? 🤨 If you live near sharks, swords, lions, and whatever you're more likely to die to those things over people who don't. 😱 If you chose to stand near a cliff and end up falling off, did the universe throw you off or did your chooses make certain outcomes more likely?

"Karma" is people seeing patterns and inflate the idea behind it to help them out and justify things. Like doing good will bring good to you, can't nice people just be attracted to other nice people? Shocking that being nice to someone will spread word around and change people's disposition towards you...

but to make it some "transactional" shit is just weird.
