Why Do So Many Good People Struggle While The Corrupt Become Successful? Does Karma Exist?

Karma, as a concept, was the idea of cause and effect translated through multiple lives, not just through one.

That by living a good life now and being kind and happy, you will create a positive start for whatever meets you after you pass away.

In this sense, Karma isn’t something we will feel any effects of now and is something we will only come to see once we meet our next life.

However, even if we do take out that concept the idea is still one of Cause and Effect.

Good deeds cause good things, and bad deeds cause bad things, but it never said that we had any control as to what things we gain from what deeds.

When talking about Karma we assume that it is all one big ball of yarn.

Different colored strings are so intertwined in this ball that it looks like a rainbow colored sphere where everything is connected.

However, the truth may be a little different.

What if Karma did not work like we assume it does?

What if you cannot just treat others nicely and make more money because those two are not connected?
