Karma is a tough one for me. I can rationalize karma in a localized sense, meaning that people you deal with directly and repeatedly will reciprocate your treatment of them. However, belief in karma in a globalized sense, in that there is some force that balances wrongs and rights that aren't necessarily directly related, seems like it takes a leap of faith equal to that of belief in Jesus, Mohammed, or any other religion.
That said, how do you guys view karma? Is it local meaning limited to your direct interactions, or is it global, meaning a guiding force that governs the earth/universe? If it's a guiding force, why does it exist? Was it created or infinite?
I also have a hard time with karma, because I think it's just as corrupt as any religion out there. I think the concept seems selfish, in that people do things with the expectation of being rewarded for them, as opposed to doing them because they are right.
