I believe that karma does exist and does come back to the one who caused something to happen but I also think that bad people create the karma and they hurt people when that person had not done anything wrong. This world hurts those who haven’t done
anything mostly because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time or because someone else decided that they would get something out of it or just because they wanted to, karma will get them eventually.
Yes, a person who is going to do something to someone else, for karma or any reason, it is because they have a diseased energy in their energetic self, and because they do not know how to act through that energetic body, they must rid it through their own body - which manifests as agression, or other things as well, self mutilation, physical illness, etc. That diseased energy is the energy of your karma, which you brought with you into this incarnation, or have accumulated since.
When someone else tries to afflict you with their karma, you do not have to accept it. Just because something is delivered upon your body, does not mean that your spirit, your energetic body, has to hold onto it. If something bad happens to you, and you decide that you are somehow less for it, or take it personally somehow, then you begin to inflict harm upon yourself energetically, and accrue karma for that self agression, as you litterally damage your energy - changing it into diseased energy, which is bad karma.
As far as not having karma... the universe is made of positive and negative energy, and all that manifests in the spiritual is made of these two energies, and the spectrums of those energies... the purpose of incarnation is to purify a portion of one side or the other - depending on wich side you think is better I suppose - over time.
Of course, the last part of that is just opinion, but if you take a look at a person's energetic body through the astral, in a black and white gradient, you can see where the dark parts are and make an educated guess as to how that karma may manifest, depending on where it is, how close to the outside, how close to chakras, etc. The darker areas are the bad karma. Unless you're trying to rid yourself of the light parts, I suppose...
(edit) haha, as far as free will goes, of course you can choose how to express these energetic laws - but without self-observation, and meditation, and getting in touch with your own energy, and taking an active approach towards excising that bad karma directly, that is the extent of your free will.
In other words, some people have less free will than others. (/edit)
peace
