What does "karma" mean to you?

Did Locke put you up to this? I don't believe in Karma or fate or destiny or any of that crap people spout off about. We make our own path in life and nothing changes that for us. All the talk of free will and destiny seem completely contradictory to me; if you have free will then your path can't be chosen for you. Karma's just the same; it's a way to keep people in line.

Everything you do has consequences but it doesn't determine the fate of the rest of your life. Good or Bad? It's complete crap.

If I believed in Karma I'd have to entertain the notion that this was meant to happen. All these people were meant to crash on the island. People were meant to die and I don't believe that. I can't believe that, if it's all determined then why the hell am I a surgeon? That's like saying nothing we do really matters anyway.

I heard someone here say that maybe we were all being punished for the things we've done in our past. I can't believe that.
