[Narrative, Descriptive, and Aphoristic Essay]
Karma is a fundamental concept referring to acts, good or bad that result in correspondingly positive or negative fruits either in this or in a future life.It is not a punishment or retribution but simply an extended expression or consequence of natural acts.
Karma means deed or act and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action, and reaction that governs all life. The effects experienced are also able to be mitigated by actions and are not necessarily fated. That is to say, a particular action now is not binding to some particular, predetermined future experienced or reaction; it is not a simple, one-to-one correspondence of reward or punishment. Can I escape karma?

Well, I think I see it all the time. Like gravity, karma is so basic we often don’t even notice it. I just seem to have a bad karma. Yes, I admit that I’m not that perfect person (because nobody’s perfect), but just recently when I got lost my school I.D. I’ve realize that maybe it was lost because of my wrong or bad doings that I’ve done before to other people. Somehow, I believe make good causes and transform my bad karma from this day forward. Nearly every human being has the ability to tell right from wrong, good from bad, but some of us have taken more spins on the wheel of life than others and have learned how karma works.
Until we learn a lesson, we will continue to receive the same message through repeated experiences. Unfortunately, not all good actions have immediate rewards as a good karma. We might see the positive actions tomorrow, we might see them in our next lifetime or we might not see them at all. We might be thinking, “If I’m not going to benefit, what’s the point?” There is one. Every positive action we take has a positive effect, whether we see it or not. We just need to trust.
Through understanding your unique destiny, you can adjust your actions to either change an ongoing situation, or gain new perspective on a past situation so you can avoid making the same mistake twice. By understanding karma, you can unlock the patterns from past lives and show you how to use the laws to consciously choose a better path for this life and the next.
Just as Isaac Newton’s third law of motion – to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Are you scared yet? Don’t be. You don’t have to fear karma if you understand the rules of the game. Just get out there onto the playing field, your life, and keep practicing to get good karma. Go out of your way to be honest, or keep a promise, and see how the good effects start stacking up. You’ll see.
