Karma... What goes around... comes around....
who believes this??

I do...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42nwRGkNZ68

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand

So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around

You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that

Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around



Let me paint this picture for you, baby

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes

You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see

(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

See?
You should've listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around)

If you believe the What Goes Around

1. Karma is misinterpreted by the west. The original concept as explained by the Buddha
Edited on Mon Dec-03-07 07:52 PM by Flabbergasted
was the phenomenon of cause and effect. The should be obvious considering the Buddha believed judgment itself is an illusion and therefore any judgment we make about Karmic effects also an illusion.

5. whatever it's called
Edited on Mon Dec-03-07 08:14 PM by stuntcat
MY definition of karma is the only thing I believe in, the what-goes-around-comes-around stuff. I don't need a word for it but I do call it karma in my head. And I don't think it needs a creator to exist.
I think it has a lot to do with the raping of the Earth by humans, we'll fight for God and money but we won't fight to save the future of the animals and seas and stuff, so we WILL pay (not to get political in the lounge though, sorry!)

I kinda go with the "Western interpretation" at the bottom of the Wikipedia page :headbang:

6. Nope.
I see good things happen to shitty people and shitty things happen to good people far too often.

7. I think of the idea of reaping what we sow
as much as coming around

although I do think they are similar thoughts in a way.

Karma or whatever one wants to call it, yeah, it comes around.

What goes around comes around.

If one screws people over, one way or another they often get what is coming to them.

The problem... it isn't on our timetable that it happens.

Also, the saying "give them enough rope and they hang themselves" is to ME related

What goes around comes around...

yeah

it does
