The general concept of Karma is that if you do good, you get good things to come back and if you do bad, bad things will come back to you. "What goes around comes around."
The topic of Karma is a large one that occupies a lot of time and is ruled by the laws of balance.
Many people believe that Karma is just related to one lifetime or other short amount of time and is able to be cleansed through rituals or other religious or spiritual ideals. Sadly, this is not the case. It is related to your entire set of incarnations and by the end of your incarnations you need to have it all balanced. This applies to planet energy as a whole and even dimensions; every factor counts.
Karma depends a lot on your state of mind or being when you commit the act. You could think you are doing everyone good by doing something that would otherwise be considered evil and that may lower the amount of bad karma returning, however when it does return you may do the opposite and commit a good action while thinking it is bad.
Take someone like Adolf Hitler for example; he committed mass murder and made a lot of misery. That Karma needs to be balanced out; has it already? We will never know. He would have had to do a lot of good beforehand to get away with that without doing much damage but considering out life paths are decided before we incarnate he must have known what he was doing. If he hadn't done much good beforehand, than the wisest choice for him would be to dedicate his next few lives to doing good to balance it out.
Most people believe that good is good and it's the only thing you should be focusing on... but let's look at it like this. Yin and Yang. Say bad actions are Yin and good actions are Yang. There needs to be a balance in everything you do. If you do good, good, good then you will get good in return but in order to progress there needs to be a balance of good things happening and bad things happening so that everything about you can raise your consciousness. The same goes for bad.
People look at the world like it is black and white. There is not need to fear negative actions; they're needed for the average soul to learn their mistakes so they can balance their knowledge and progress as high as they can.
There is a saying I like and it goes like this; Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

Nice blog post. From my experience what I am learning is that Good is always in a balanced state. "Good" doesn't requires itself to be balanced because it is already balanced. It's the "bad" which is imbalanced, so we use good to balance the bad which makes it Good.
