Yeah, it's more like cause and effect. a pebble drops in the water and there are ripples. Why is your life the way it is? It's the result of every single choice you made in your life, neither good nor bad. You chose to leave the house without an umbrella and it rained, you got wet. It has nothing to do with being bad or good.
Why am I 35lbs overweight? Because I chose to eat more food than I needed for the past fifteen years.
Ironically, seeing karma as some sort of punishment is rather passive and evading responsibility for one's situation and or actions. Looking at it as a direct result of one's actions is more empowering. The added BS of a judgment only obscures the issue.
