My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are doing another quick chat episode and today's question is, do you believe in the idea of Karma?00:00:52JackAnd Karma is the idea that your actions come back to.00:00:57JackYou in some way.00:00:59JackSo do you believe in Karma?00:01:04XochitlUM, OK, I'm conflicted. As of typical Gemini.00:01:08XochitlI have like.00:01:08XochitlI always have two opinions about everything and this is one of those situations where I have two opinions on Karma.00:01:19XochitlBasically, I know that psychologically and logically, the world doesn't work that way. You don't get rewarded for good behavior, you don't get punished for bad behavior. I think a lot of it comes from our religious ideals.00:01:36XochitlThat there's like some kind of ultimate reward for the behavior. But I think if that were true, we wouldn't see a lot of like.00:01:46XochitlPoor people who work really hard, still being like poor enough to starve forever or rich people who rip everyone off, like still being.00:01:56XochitlBillionaires. You know, I think.00:01:58XochitlUltimately, logically, I believe that Karma is probably a non sequitur, which for our viewers who don't know what that means, it's means it's not really relevant or it there is no like link between these.00:02:12XochitlBut like spiritually on some level, I do believe in it and I have experienced it. And as we talked about in our last episode, sometimes I think we go back and like apply.00:02:27XochitlThe things that we believe in, like we see our memories through a filter. So it's like maybe I did something bad and a lot of bad things happen to me and I'm going to see it through the filter of like cause and effect like because I believe in karma these bad things happen to me because I did something bad and recently that kind of happened.00:02:49XochitlHad a couple of bad things happen already. At that point I think, but I lied about something pretty major to someone.00:02:58XochitlUM.00:03:04XochitlI will come clean about it. You know soon enough. But I did lie about something and I really dislike lying, which also can be another thing, potentially the stress.00:03:17XochitlOf doing something that you morally don't agree with, I think also puts some strain on your health and stuff, but I lied about something pretty major to someone important to me and.00:03:31XochitlAfter that I got like sick. I got my kidney infection. I twisted my ankle and a lot of stuff was going on and I was like, OK, I'm this is my fault because I did something bad that I morally disagree with. And because of that, Karma is coming back to bite me.00:03:48JackRight.00:03:50XochitlYeah. However.00:03:51JackOK.00:03:52XochitlJust so the quick side note that person did like some really terrible things to me and they seemed f
