Have you tried Google-ing it, or watching "My Name Is Earl"? Lol, sorry, bad joke.

Karma is the belief that for every bad or evil thing a person does, it will be turned upon them to "bite them in the ass" as the saying goes. It also works the other way...good deeds will be turned upon the person as well. Basically it's the saying "do unto others as you would have others do unto you". Do good, good will come to you, and visa versa...by golly, our parents were right! :D another bad joke, sorry :p

Actually! :D Karma is bigger thing than that, it's about the things that need to get done on the road of life in order to achieve balance and enlightenment.

Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म from the root kṛ, "to do") is a word of ancient origin meaning action or activity and its subsequent results (also called karma-phala, "the fruits of action"). It is commonly understood as a term to denote the entire cycle of cause and effect as described in the philosophies of a number of Dharmic Religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.

Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. Individuals go through certain processes and accompanying experiences throughout their lives which they have chosen, and those would be based on the results of their own creations: "karma". Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.
