Karma: do good and good will follow you
Every action has consequences that go beyond a mere human lifetime
karma is a law of causality that first appeared in the Upanishads, the sacred texts that expound the Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, produced in India between c.1500 and c.500 BCE. karma is also a key concept in Buddhism and Jainism.
According to Newton's third law of motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
The term karma means 'action' in Sanskrit, and refers to the idea that every action has a specific set of causes and effects. Ethically, karma is a metaphysical record of a person's moral worth. When someone commits an evil act, they acquire karma; when someone does good, they acquire merit, which cancels out karma.
"It is God's inviolable law that karma never fails to produce its effect."
---Mahatma Gandhi, Indian nationalist leader.
karma is linked to samsara (the cycle of reincarnation) because when people die, their Karma determines the type of rebirth they will have in the next life. In Hinduism, this is closely tied to the varna (caste) system: a virtuous life eradicates karma and guarantees rebirth in a higher caste that is more capable of attaining moksha , a state of unity between a person's atman (true self) and Brahman(Ultimate reality). In Buddhism, life is characterised by suffering; the goal of spiritual cultivation is to eradicate karma and attain nirvana , a state in which all karma is nullified and a person can exit the cycle of rebirth. In Jainism, expunging all karma leads to moksha , a blissful state of liberation from samsara. In Hinduism and Buddhism, people receve karma only for intentional acts, whereas in Jainism, even unintentional acts can generate karma.
Due to the prevalence of Hinduism and Buddhism throughout Asia, karma has become a central moral paradigm. The doctrine of karma has influenced the spiritual beliefs of numerous traditions, including Sikhism, Falun Gong, and Theosophy.

Here comes the article I was waiting for. Each and every action is responsible for another action and so on. It's a chain.
If you're able to link each and every action with karma. You'll find peace and happiness in everything.
Contrary to popular misconception, karma has nothing to do with punishment and reward. It exists as part of our holographic universe's binary or dualistic operating system only to teach us responsibility for our creations-and all things we experience are our creations.
