Imagine you were in class X and one day in school, between a class, you get called to the principal. You go the Principal's office and the principal tells you - straight faced - that you cannot get a hall-ticket for the board exams.
What would be your feeling? You'd start crying...your knees would probably buckle..and you'd start thinking of all the things you did this year which probably you shouldn't have done.
When you can't think of any and you plead with the principal to let you know the reason for this extreme decision, the Principal says, "Because you tore your classmate's hall ticket in a brawl in the board exams of class VII and he missed an exam."
What goes in your mind at that moment?
'Has the Principal lost it'?
'This is sheer nonsensical'
This is sinister'
...and some more similar thoughts maybe.
You'd question the principal why you have to suffer for something after such a long time and why weren't you reprimanded then.
You get a reply, 'So that you know what it's like to suffer the same way' OR something like 'Coz that was not the right time'. This reply coming from the principal ..not some high school senior or some arrogant teacher.
What would go on in your mind then?
That you are unfairly treated. That this is a sick way of teaching kids to behave. That this is deceptive way to treat a child.
What do you do? Cry, plead, beg. Call your parents. They try all tricks. Still no avail. It's the Principal's call after all. You lose a year.
Sure what goes around, comes back. But this way? They should have questioned you then! Not now, when you grew out of that phase & are on the brink of dreaming about living the future you have laid out in your eyes already! & that was a brawl!! Even your own hall ticket could have been torn, or worse still, you may have gotten injured too! Maybe you are said that that kid was punished too & his punishment was that he missed his exam. Why would you care what thing he was punished for? & if you were a mediator for him to get his punishment, how is it your fault??
Does this story make sense? Maybe. Maybe not.

This in a most simplified way is a small part and the story of what Karma is and how it works.
I'm not going to give my personal opinion on do I think it if it's right or not. I think my thoughts are clear enough for who can read it. As for you, it's for you to think and judge for yourself.
