Q. It’s said that bad karma gets back to you. Do you really believe this to be true?
A. This is a complex question and no answer would be conclusive. In fact, there are so many questions to address first. Example: what is karma? Or what is good karma or bad karma? Is it subjective? I can share what I follow. You needn’t agree. Let me quote what Lord Buddha says. In the teachings of Buddha, the law of karma is explained as: “For every event that occurs, it will be followed by another event, whose existence was caused by the first action, and the second event that occurs, will be good or bad according to whether it has been harmful or beneficial, to oneself and to others”. I find this philosophy a relevant answer for your question. It works for me.
