Etymology
The concept of karma originated in ancient Indian religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. It is a fundamental belief that the sum of a person's actions in this and previous lives will determine their fate in future lives. Karma is closely tied to the idea of cause and effect, where good deeds lead to positive outcomes, and bad deeds lead to negative consequences. Over time, the concept of karma has been widely adopted in Western cultures as well, influencing ideas of fate, destiny, and personal responsibility.
