believe or not ?...explain..
If you are nice to people they will (usually) be nice to you.
If you are nasty, you won't have many real friends.
Perhaps a little over simplified, but basically this is an example of karma.

I don't believe in it. I haven't changed my life accordingly, but I've seen nothing to indicate that doing good works or sacrificing anything for others reaps anything. Neither have I seen any hint that those on the opposite end of the behavioral choice scale reap what they sow.
I see it all the time. Those who sow a lot of love towards other people will then reap love that they have shown. Those that sow bitterness and hate towards people will also reap the same from other people. It is simply mathamatics. If you put one and one together you will reap the number two. There is no way around it.
