    I believe in Karma, is this superstition? Anyone else believe in this?

    I do not. The basic premise around it is do something good and others will do good, and vice versa right?
    Why not just always try to do good anyways?

    Yes, I certainly believe in Karma; but do not see it as superstition.

    We have a pattern with number 3...and the superstition got stronger when we bought a property with number 3, the block size was divisible by 3, contract date and settlement dates were divisible by 3.

    The next purchase the house wasn't number 3, the block size could be divisible by 3, and we paid 2k more to make sure it was divisible by 3....

    Odd..but, just made us feel better in a crazy Sydney market :D

    Personally I like number 4. Always been thinking about it to be my lucky number. Clearly I did not grew up in Chinese culture :D

    Also I do not want to speak about deals, job offers etc. to anyone before the contract are signed by all parties and all conditions been met. I think that it is bad luck to talk about it before.

    I used to have a problem with number 2. However, a change of diet and more fluid intake fixed that up.

    I believe in intrinsic karma, but not extrinsic karma.
    So basically, the world doesn't care if you're being nice or not, but if you do something nice for someone else, you're likely to be in a better mood. If you're in a better mood while interacting with people, you're likely to get a better outcome, etc. But a donation isn't going to help you win the lottery in any way, shape or form.

    I don't believe in superstitions or the supernatural. An moral and ethical life is possible without reference to either IMO
