It's not eye for an eye though, the results are muddy at best because it's mixed with other karma.
Most important to remember is that karma RARELY affects us during the current lifetime. This means that the people that steal from you won't feel the effects until the next lifetime or a hundred lifetimes from now or much longer. This is why people can never understand what they've done to receive horrible occurrences like disasters or car wrecks; it's from karma committed in past lives.
And incidentally, wishing bad karma on someone has no effect on them. It's only bad karma that you yourself are creating.

So....what I hear you saying is I must have done some really, really bad **** in a previous life to deserve the horrors of this one? If that's the case, then stop the train cuz I want off. What's the point in trying to do good and work so hard to heal if there's some other misdeed in a past life I have no clue about and get to pay for in my next lifetime?
Personally, I don't believe in reincarnation, and while I respect those who do, I find the whole concept to be terrifying. In nature, everything dies in order to provide nourishment for new life. We are all made of the same elements that make up the stars, planets, galaxies, black holes, and maybe even dark matter as well.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it seems against the laws of nature for us to return over and over and over again for the purpose of being punished for something we did a dozen or so lifetimes ago. I think all living things get one shot at life before returning to our original state as part of the beauty of the universe and all of God's other creations.
This is only my opinion, for what it's worth. There is scientific proof of how the universe works through the laws of physics. I know of no scientific proof of reincarnation but would be interested to hear about it if it exists.
