@ this whole thing.

no, there's another equally trivial reason why innocent people die. I'm sure the dudes wife died for a reason as well.....prolly the same reason why her husband died in the car crash.... KARMA!!!

It has to do with your entire life and you dont experience the results until your next life.

?????


What makes your explanation for how karma works any more valid than what op posted?????

im referring to the karma thats grounded in scripture. there is a 'correct' definition of what karma is in the same way that there is a 'correct' definition as to what Christianity is. Whether concepts are right or wrong is compeltely independent of what the term means. Karma is NOT what OP described, thats just a social perversion of the actual meaning of the term.

because you attribute bad things that happen to people to their previous bad actions in life. you also attribute good actions to their previous good actions in life. so when somebody gets hit by a stray bullet, karma says that this happened to them because they deserved it.

Tell me about it.

 Such obtuse logic. 
I highlighted the original post just to see if there was a "jk" hidden in black. I mean, I really didn't believe he was serious.

Whatever, if this is OP's way to ease the harsh truth of knowing some kind people living in harsh conditions aren't rewarded for their admirable deeds, and criminals don't always pay for their wrongdoings, then cool.

Two people are dead this morning after an Indianapolis man allegedly stabbed his wife at a Southside home, then died after his car piled into a tree a few blocks away.
About 5:30 a.m., Indianapolis metropolitan police received a frantic 911 call of a woman stabbed in the 4700 block of South Rural Street. Upon arrival, IMPD officers found 44-year-old Melissa Field dead in the home.

Three small children — ranging in age from 8 to 15 — were home at the time but were not hurt, police say. WTHR (Channel 13), The Star's news-gathering partner, reports that two other children may have been in the home and witnessed the attack.

Police say Kevin Field, 51, apparently became angry and attacked Melissa Field, then left the residence and lost control of his vehicle on slick pavement about four blocks away, crashing head-on into a tree in the 4600 block of Carson, according to a news release from IMPD spokesman Kendale Adams.

Within minutes, IMPD officers received a second 911 call reporting the crash. Field was dead when police arrived, and rescue crews had to extract his body from the vehicle.

No motive for the attack was immediately available.
The couple’s children have been placed in the care of nearby family members, police say.

This DEFINITELY sucks for the children, having both parents gone (seein as how he'd be in jail if he wasn't dead), but he def.got what was comin to him

So what did the kids do to deserve both their parents dying?  Just interested in your POV on this.

I was with you, until that last sentence...

In regards to the stray bullet, NO....sometimes bad things happen to good people, or people who didn't deserve it in the first place. You mentioned a baby...an innocent child; what could they have done to deserve that?

In THIS case, it's quite simple: Man argues with wife....man stabs wife to death w/kids in home...wife dies...man speeds off from scene....man loses control on ice and hits tree and dies.

I mean, this isn't anything to be seriously debating over! I just posted an article over a guy who got what he deserved, and now we're debating over the true meaning of the word "Karma"! The hell?!
