To believe in karma, even though it doesn’t always seem to work?

I’ve always believed that what goes around comes around, but lately I’ve been questioning whether karma really exists. I see people who do terrible things and seem to get away with it, while others are good struggle endlessly. AIBU to still believe in karma, or is it just wishful thinking?

Karma has a way of coming round and biting people.right on the backside, I saw it at work a few weeks ago.

Is karma different from natural consequences? I can certainly think of someone who did a nasty thing to me and subsequently went on to offend enough others that she was ostracised.

Absolute nonsense to me. If you open your eyes horrible people thrive and wonderful people suffer . If karma existed this would never happen . Possibly there's a truer ideological definition of karma, but in the simple sense most know it- bollocks

I would like to believe in Karma, but I’ve never seen it happen.
Ive seen too many really bad people live perfect lives with no come back, and I’ve seen lots of nice, kind, helpful people struggle all their lives and never have a break.
The only thing that I see evidence of in this world is the devil, he seems to make sure the nasty ones succeed!!
