hmm interesting thoughts rougue
My DH and i follow the belief that we do things for others without expecting or wanting things in return.
We are trying to instill that in our kids as well

The whole theory behind karma isnt to expect anything in return. Expecting things in return is to have selfish motives in the first place- putting conditions on your kindness.
Karma should be a about balance. You get what you put into life. But you dont get a say in what you get back. Things just materialise when you dont expect them.

Its more about treating people how you would like to be treated and treating everyone equal.
Also realising that we dont have to be the ones who dish out punsihments to others- their karma will balance it back to them

We also try to pay it forward. If some kindness comes our way, we try and make sure we pay it forward to someone else. Share the good fortune around.

there should be no expectations or conditions or your spirituality. Only belief in treating everyone equal and how you would like to be treated.

Why do i always feel that i was born 20 years too late?? LOL
