What Is Karma?
Karma means action, work or deed; it also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual.
In lay man's definition, Karma is the idea that one reaps what one sows; destiny; fate.
One good turn deserves another
We are made to believe that for everything we do there is always a future reward, so if you do good that means someone else will do good to you or you'll be treated in a good way in the future and if you do bad, you'll receive same likewise
Karma According To Tradition
In Hinduism:
As a man himself sows, so he himself reaps; no man inherits the good or evil act of another man. The fruit is of the same quality as the action.
— Mahabharata, xii.291.22[53]
In Jainism:
This emphasis on reaping the fruits only of one's own karma was not restricted to the Jainas; both Hindus and Buddhist writers have produced doctrinal materials stressing the same point. Each of the latter traditions, however, developed practices in basic contradiction to such belief. In addition to shrardha (the ritual Hindu offerings by the son of deceased), we find among Hindus widespread adherence to the notion of divine intervention in ones fate, while Buddhists eventually came to propound such theories like boon-granting bodhisattvas, transfer of merit and like. Only Jainas have been absolutely unwilling to allow such ideas to penetrate their community, despite the fact that there must have been tremendous amount of social pressure on them to do so.[105]
According to Padmanabh Jaini,

According to Yoga, Karma is divided into 3 types: Sanchitta(past), Parabda(present), and Agami (future).
1. Sanchitta:
This is accumulated past actions or karmas waiting to come to fruition. Sanchitta is the storehouse of every action you have ever done, in all the lifetimes you have ever lived. These are all of the unresolved past actions waiting to reach resolution.
2. Parabda:
This is the present action: what you are doing now, in this lifetime and its result.
3. Agami:
Future actions that result from your present actions are called agami karma. As you attempt to resolve past karma, you unavoidably create new karmas that you may or may not be able to resolve in your present life. If you don't resolve them now, they will go into the storehouse to be resolved in a future life.

Karma: Not A Tool For Steemit
.jpg)
Now back to the main subject of the day, why is karma not a tool for Steemit. According to the definition above, you have to do something to get something
So for Steemit, you keep upvoting and commenting on people's post expecting them to do same to you (karma), but you become disappointed when they don't do it
I'm mostly directed to see Steemit life as a give and take scenario, but why should i continue giving when i don't receive, why should i believe in karma when Steemit doesn't approve it
Woff, woff!
Hello @aauthespian1, Nice to meet you!
I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.
KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!
Tips:
Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!
Woff, woff! 🐶
