Nope. Some assholes get everything they want in life. Some assholes get fucked over. Some of the nicest people get everything they want in life. Some of the nicest people get fucked over.

If we take a small sample, especially ones that pop out at us, and focus on those we can find numerous examples of "karma" but when you look at a larger sample, it seems to even out.

There is a saying for good and bad karma. There is a saying that every nice action has its consequence. There is a saying that nice guys finish last. Doesn't seem to be any grand connection.

Also, I don't believe that if you are nice to someone and you are treated nice in return is karma, it is simply playing a game. If you are nice to a bunch of assholes they will take advantage of you. If you are nice to a bunch of genuine people, they will be touched by your niceness and want to be nice themselves.
