Karma refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where the intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. Good intent and good deeds supposedly contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering. Do you believe in that principle as a spiritual effect or as a psychological effect or not at all? Published on 15 December 2015 → Survey conducted on 15 December 2015 on 4009 GB adults
