AIBU to ask if you believe in Karma?

Just that really, do you believe there’s karma where systems/public services have failed to hold people accountable for their actions?

I want to believe in karma but the older I get I realise bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. And even more confusing is what someone else defines as bad might not be for someone else and if karma was real who is defining right / wrong?

Remember the time you told your first lie? Then you have a realisation that if you can lie so can everybody else. So can you ever believe anyone ever again ever in your life?
Same thing applies if you cheat or steal, or kill, or gossip, or are two faced.......

What has it done to your subconscious? And what would you call it?

I believe in karma as in justice can come in all forms. I don't believe it's some kind of mystical force.

No, personally I don't believe this.

No, I don't believe in karma at all. Some people/organisations do bad things. Some of them get their comeuppance some don't.
