People make it up. Your actions determine far more than luck does

Live your life, be the best person you can at any given moment.
Stop getting pushed around. Don’t turn the other cheek. Get justice. Say what needs to be said even if you can’t say it right then in the moment - when you are not emotional and have the right thing to say - get them on the line and say, I don’t like the way you’re speaking to me. I think your treatment is inappropriate. I need you to stop doing thst. If you continue to behave in this way, I’ll need to escalate my response. Everyone on here that’s telling you to just keep doing the right thing, yes, but the right thing is always standing up for yourself. Get justice and make sure everything you do to get justice and create your own karma is defensible. Correcting bad people is the only right thing to do - not turning the other cheek which teaches ppl that being gross is permissible. It’s not. Step up, get some courage and do what needs to be done.
my policy has always been “corporate america will keep pushing you until you push back” but can definitely apply to certain family and friends as well unfortunately
Don’t agree with the whole karma and what goes around comes around philosophy, but I do believe in hypocrisy and maintaining a glass half full attitude.
If that translates to me treating everyone how I would like to be treated regardless of how they treat me; then yes. However I would say that you stop extending the courtesy on helping out other without them asking for help if they treat you bad. Fool me once shame on me; fool me twice shame on them.
I’d say keep up your good spirits and be your good self and start weeding out the bad experiences through choices you make.
I find that pushing back takes practice. Imagine your push back becomes entirely public... now if you can have everyone (especially the ones who typically stand their ground) look at what you said or how you acted and say “you know what, I think that’s actually a very fair response,” then you are on the right track. It’s up to you to ensure you are given fair treatment, set expectations, and if possible draw the line before you get into a tough situation. When you say nothing, somebody somewhere will see it and nearly always take advantage.
Karma says doing the right thing!!! And getting pushed around is not right but sometimes unavoidable ... and standing up for urself is definitely the right thing! Believe in Karma... and do the next right thing.

I do believe in karma but I don't think it works the way most people think it does

Is just my view but karma doesn't have to wait for the next life. Karma doesn't make litter blow into the yards of litter bugs. It's simpler than that; if you're jerk you'll find more conflict. More conflict makes you less happy.
I don't think the Buddhists are wrong. I just think there is a much shorter feedback loop.
nope - treat everyone like shit :)

Karma does not exist, but even if it did, you do not base doing the "right" thing on some potential reward you may get later. Do the right thing because it is right.
