I personally do believe in Karma for a certainty.
Although wait a minute....when you think about it - it doesn't always work either, does it?
Oh crap, I want to believe in SOMETHING!

PS: good post warlock...you are right - it is evil to feel satisfaction over another's misfortune - although our internal sense of justice nods its approval when anyone who does wrong gets punished or even suffers a coincidental misfortune of sorts. It think it all depends on the severity of the wrong and the severity of the unfortunate thing that happened to them. I guess that is what justice is all about.
