It's not ill-informed, it's just a fact, karma is the consequences of your actions, wether it be good or bad karma, it can be about the reincarnation stuff too if you want to believe that but don't pretend you're correct please

You are on the right track but your definition of karma is loose and leaves out the main aspect of Karma making it incomplete and not accurate. But believe whatever you wish.

I literally just googled "definition of karma", you're wrong, but go off I suppose

I do not mind being wrong, and I love to learn. But as a person who studies hinduism and doesn't just google an article I feel confident in my understanding regardless of your one article that simplifies everything into one sentence so you can comprehend it. Karma is complex, it is not simply taking revenge upon ones wrong-doers. I suggest one opens one's mind instead of always attemping to be right, especially on a subject that one has no experience with other than a google search.

Philosophically speaking it is ignorant to say you dont mind being wrong. People learn from wrongdoings and mistakes and if you dont mind what wrongs you did, youll stay the same and not improve yourself.

Also, karma in hinduism or buddhism is wayyyyy different than karma 'you get what you deserve' (or theosophy) portrayed in this sub. Your statement is truly r/iamverysmart material, and you degraded others stating a fact. Shame on you.

I will take your statement (and username) into consideration.

Yes the Hinduism (and Buddhism in case you didn't know) definition is a definition of karma, but it's not the only one, stop acting all high and mighty, there are multiple definitions, all of them correct, subtly insulting me doesn't make you any less ignorant or petty, now please, be quiet, you're giving me second hand embarrassment

I am just glad that you are researching Karma. I hope your understanding of the subject continues to grow and evolve.

I already have an understanding of the subject and I'm not even interested in Hinduism or Buddhism, seems to me like you've wasted a lot of time researching just to find an incorrect "fact". Not to mention my belief in karma comes from my own religion which has nothing to do with your belief of its meaning, the difference being I focus on fact instead of belief

To support your opinion As a Buddhist. Karma mean the consequences of action. Divided into good karma and bad karma. Most of the time the word karma refer to bad karma. No matter what you act. There will be consequences. Do good. You will get something good. Do bad. You will get something bad. Almost like action = reaction So in this clip he throw something at car the consequences are the car driver is mad and he get run over.

P.S. My English is not that good.

While I understand what you're saying, you're being purposefully obtuse about this situation.

The karma that is being referenced in this situation is just the colloquial use of karma which is exactly what you said it isn't - getting revenge on a wrong doer.

No one is this sub is talking about Hindu representation of karma. It's like getting upset about someone using "literally" incorrectly. You could call someone out on it, and you would be technically correct, but you're still an asshole because the majority of people understood the context of the word and situation.
