  I think if you can "dish it out" you better stfu and take it when the same happens to you and not turn into a whiney douchebag.
  
  Or yeah, essentially what you said.

  I don't believe it's a phenomenon at all.

  I think it is one of the most annoying concepts humanity has ever come up with. I find the belief that the universe has a sense of justice or that bad things happen to bad people and good things happen to good people sickeningly naive and out of touch with reality.

  I prefer the chicken variety but would take lamb in a pinch.

  Karma is probably all in the mind rather than based in reality - it may be bliss to imagine that those who are happy to commit crimes against others will feel the full wrath of Karma. The reality is much more prosaic - those of us sticking to to the rules get hammered - and those who dismiss them with a sniff take the risks, rarely get caught and milk benefits.
  
  People are what they are - often a mixture of good and bad - all you can do is come to terms with your own victories and failures - and leave others to handle their own. Waiting for a cosmic justice for others will drive you mad.

  When bad things happen to people because they themselves have done bad things, there is an element of satisfaction. I view it as natural justice, not some superstitious karmic effect.

  That's how I view it. If you behave in a certain way towards others - and it comes back to bite you in the bum as it were -it is a form of natural justice.

  I am serious when I say this. Those people who have insulted me in the past, they are now in very poor circumstances or have had some very serious illness. So sometimes I really scratch my head and wonder.....
