What is karma?
user
Karma is a complicated thing that is typically presented as a way for people to pay for bad deeds they did in the past. For example, if someone in the present harms someone else, it could be argued that the present action would be the effect of an unforgiven bad deed in the past. The idea is that people would naturally and slowly be forgiven for bad deeds as they do good deeds, and at some point would find themselves in a state of enlightenment.

What are karmic relationships?
user
Karmic relationships are links or ties between people who are related to each other through the idea of karma. People who act in a harmful way in their past are considered to have negative karmic connections with the people they harmed, so even though they’ve been forgiven, they will have negative connections with those who they harmed in the past. The opposite would be someone who did good deeds in the past, and has positive karmic relationships with people who they helped.
