[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4567101, member: 710"] I don't believe in it as a metaphysical law or something. But I think it is right to a certain degree. If you input "negativity" in the system, this negative can turn against you. If you behave like a dick, someone will call you upon it. If you never help anyone one, nobody will help you ever out. (And some might even be compelled to actively work against you.) Also, the other way around. Be friendly, people might remember your behavior. Maybe they follow up on it, and so it can go around. So I think friendliness is a good way to create a "positive feedback" loop. But I wouldn't trust on this to be a way to achieve riches, a great career or just find a great partner. But I think it makes life more enjoyable. ;) Karma - explained "rationally" (yet optimistic) - is probably the closest I have to an actual belief. Maybe it's a very fundamental thing: "Hey, wouldn't it be nice if we were nice to each other?" [/QUOTE]
