Karma is a Sanskrit word that means action. Its specifics are often dependent upon the religion; however, it is said to essentially signify the cycle of cause and effect. This rule is not only applicable to a person’s actions, but also to their thoughts and words. But what really is karma? Can we control our own actions? Is it we who control them or forces outside of us?
