I do because Karma has bitten me in the butt not once but many times for idiot things I've done. But, I don't see it ever happening to other people. I know people who I'm sure do idiot and wrong things but they live life like kings and queens.

Groundhog Day is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I just think karma is a nice idea I don't actually believe in it.

As a real, measurable force in nature, no. As an interesting intellectual concept, yes.

Bad and good things happen to people all the time. Karma is just taking two unrelated events and trying to make somthing out of nothing. I do believe in luck tho.

No not really. Though I suppose if I do something bad and then something bad happens to me, I tell myself, "I deserved that."

But if something good happened to you, would you still say, "I deserved that"?

I either wouldn't notice or I'd say "I got lucky."
