    Was this karma?

    First time ever being pulled over with alcohol in my system! Felt like sh!t after the fact. Not only did he not ask me if I had been drinking, he let me go with a warning and it was after midnight. Earlier in the day a guy walking infront of me dropped $20 and kept walking! Could have kept it but picked it up, caught up with him and gave it back. Never really bought into the whole Karma thing but I might now! Was this Karma or just a lucky break or is there a difference? Thoughts?

    It wasn't karma. What happened to you is a superstitious and guilty mind trying to connect unrelated events. Karma's as real as Santa Claus.

    What people believe to be karma is just an excuse for people not understanding what happened so they look for answers and claim, 'ooh must be karma' when really it was the way of the world.

    It's the whole reason people are religious, because they are desperate for an answer and look to some divine intervention b*llocks.

    I know people who if something bad happens to them while they're wearing certain clothing they will throw it out. That is just stupidity on their part.

    I can't believe someone on here would give someone back money. If it was DacBietViet he would've ran to a m0neygram location with that $20.

    Maybe it is my mind trying to justify feeling better about giving the money back but either way, I am glad it worked out! Don't get me wrong... I do not support drinking and driving and last night was a bad error in judgement on my part! All I am saying is that if Karma is real, I am glad it was on my side last night!

    I'm not a big fan of religion but I believe in karma. Personally, I feel everyone in this world will live a balanced life, either through intentions or what is brought upon them. I'm not talking about a balanced life in terms of finances - rather, a balanced life in terms of what you give and take in ethics and morals. If you do good, you're rewarded, while at the other end of the spectrum, those who do bad get punished.

    How is being a moral, ethical person at all related to anything besides being a moral, ethical person? What kind of parents do people have that raise them to ever even consider keeping money they know doesn't belong to them? How is it even a question?

    It is, for one, the foundational premise of Buddhism. Which is a religion. The fifth largest in the world, actually. With over 350 million adherents.

    Karma most likely isnt real. but its odd how things work out sometimes. you did have that happen to you and everyone on he could think of a similar event that happened to them. but you always got to wonder with stuff. like Lebron talking shit about the cavs ( and even using the word karma ) ( o wait i think he tried to say it wasnt related to the Cavs but odds are it was ) and then they go out and play their next game and he plays poorly and they lose by 10+. kinda makes you wonder.

    your best bet is to believe Karma is real and make decisions based on that!

    I figured it had to do with some religion besides Christianity, because I never heard talks about it, having to do with anything Bible related.

    I believe Karma is all in peoples heads, but of course that is just the Christian upbringing that makes me think that.

    In both situation you were in the right place, at the right time, and with the right people. It could have easily have received no thanks for the $20 you returned & a DUI if it were the other way around. Either way a good story to tell while drinking at the bar tonight

    Lebron had a good game last night...Triple Double, good shooting, poor FT's, halfass defense.

    But karma is the same damn thing as people creating threads on here to "jinx" a game. If people really believe that a game turned tides and won for him, just because he created a thread "jinxing" it, then he is retarded.

    That's what I figured after I wrote it, since I didn't hear anything about that last night.

    My bad.
