Is it real? is it selective? Does it exist for some and not for overs?
I personally believe it to be selective, without going into too much detail I’ve had done very ironic punishments dealt by life that I believe to be karma most recently insisting my best mates heart attack was due to obesity and living like a slob and just over a year later I had one haha. Other people I’ve seen act terrible towards others and never seem to suffer any consequences
I try to be good nowadays and go good deeds but bad luck seems to continue on hence my belief it’s selective
What’s other people’s views/experiences on it? |

No, don’t believe in it.
Things happen completely at random, and with no outside influence from other occurrences.
Coincidences may occur, but I’m not having that some previous occurrence has influenced future events. |

I'm not sure about karma specifically.
I do believe in vibrations and actions having a reverberating effect, however small that effect night be.
I don't think things happen in a void. |

"No, I don't.
I just try to do my best, but have seen too many bad things happen to good people to believe they've in any way "deserved" it."
This is very true  |

If it's selective then that's not really 'karma.' Might be true, of course, but not really the idea of karma as that word is traditionally used. (I could be wrong, obviously!)
I don't believe in karma, personally. I would like to. And a nore general idea of "people get what's coming to them" is appealing, but doesn't match my experience in any universal sense. |

The concept of karma as most people believe it to be is a hugely bastardised version of its original meaning.
It now seems to be seen as a passive form of revenge whereas the original meaning is a unifying balance of the universe.
Karma isn’t about a cheater getting kicked in the crotch, it is about energies being balanced |

"No. There's likely no magic force etc to do such a thing "
Haha it makes feel daft for believing in it when it’s put like that, just have had so many ironic punishments I can’t help believing in it in some way just not that it exists for everyone or always exist both ways for one person (eg in own case I believe bad things will be punished but good deeds will not create good luck) |

Wholeheartedly believe in Karma, however what what we deem it to be is somewhat lost in translation. The true concept of Karma can be better understood if you care to read the "Bhagavad-Gita". |

I’m very 50/50 on it simply because I spent years being a selfless as possible and going out of my way to help people but by the end of it I always seemed to get screwed over, if I’m waiting on a good karma payout then it’s long overdue  |

Maybe you should consider taking up Karma Yoga, it may bring you a sense of happiness.  |

100% believe in what goes around comes around.
The last three people to unfairly cross me in business are all now no longer with us.
Not going into detail but they all got what they deserved as I had done nothing to them personally other than be their competition.
In one case I had even done work for them for a number of years.

Do I believe there's someone keeping score out to get you in the universe? No. I think karma is like religion, something that justifies something good or bad with a reward or consequence. There's no substance to it but it makes people feel at peace so I guess belief is a good thing. |

Not like religion as it is a solitary belief not an organised rule by an instution.

I have seen some of the worst individuals sail through life while screwing so many people over,and decent kind people who seem to be hit with bad luck over and over. So no I don't believe in it at all. |

Not directly but I think you can spread good will that may eventually come back to you. Or the opposite. So if I let someone go in front of me in traffic or in a supermarket line, I have made that person a little happier and they may spread that to someone else and so on in some glorious cosmic chain. |

If you believe in karma as a universal force that's punishing bad people you will see it in action everywhere. However it's likely that you'll disregard the bad things that go unpunished. I'm also not sure that something that isn't sentient can be selective, doesn't that prove that karma as its thought of by many doesn't exist and these events are in fact just random occurrences?
Karma as a philosophy or belief is quite different as far as I understand it |

Karma is my boyfriend. Karma is a god. Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend. Karma's a relaxing thought. Aren't you envious that for you it's not? Sweet like honey, karma is a cat purring in my lap because it loves me. Flexing like a goddamn acrobat. Me and karma vibe like that. |

"Yes, but Karma happens after you die, and is something you have to live off in you next life. That is why you should be mindful of what you do and who you hurt in this life."

"I wish there was karma, then there would be far fewer utter arseholes, lying cunts and murderous bastards in the world because they would all be doing service as dung beetles."
No justice, only power. All too often. |

I can't decide if this sounds more like an Old Spice advert, or a Fry & Laurie sketch! |

I agree with the OP, my friend is so genuinely a good person who puts others first and seems to be in a lot of bad luck as of late 
However, I know bad people find themselves in bad situations too! |

Karma is a belief justice system, it gives people hope that anyone who has been a cunt to them, will get their comeuppance. I've seen it change people for the better and give them a reason to be a part of society again. Do I believe there is a cosmic force, no. But I believe in positive and negative energy defining our choices, which incidentally lead to karma. Do I enjoy it when shitty people get it...Well Yes  |

No it’s completely made up Buddhist nonsense that we are continually reborn until all the bad is dealt with.
Do I believe good things happen to you if you are kind, generous , positive etc yes of course but that ain’t karma that’s just being a good human

It didn't originate from Buddhism and Siddhartha Gautama found one out of many ways to enlightenment. |

I’ve studied raja yoga and sazen.
Enlightenment isn’t karma either , it’s a very real state of understanding and non judging that people can achieve without meditation, religion or drugs |

Me too, brought up by Rajneesh parents, lived in Asia and studied my own path while living their. When did I suggest enlightenment was karma? I was simply corecting your statement of Budhist inventing rebirth. |

And enlightenment is about fully connecting to the univesal consciousness and your true self which is part of that. The true understanding of the 114 charkras and how each one connects to the main seven, each seven is a means to achive enlightenment, this and the connection to the third eye and the ability to nuture you kunadlini energy. |
