Karma to me, unless I am choosing the wrong word, is the complete opposite of fate. All the things that happen to me are direct results of my actions. I ran into a professor of mine yesterday, not by chance, but because I choose to go down a certain hall. Even though I didn't know he was going to be there, it was still my actions that got me there. For example, say I lived over a secret military base that I didn't know about and my town got nuked. Not my fault? No, it would be my fault. I choose to live in that town and should have researched it more to see if there may have been a secret military base there.
I'm not 100% sold on karma, or at least my idea of what it is, but it is a very interesting thing to think about.
