When I let someone into my house to crash in my guest room because they were sick, out of a house, and it was winter, I thought i was doing good. But it was actually bad, and they stole some of my stuff. So bad things happened because I did bad. Even though I was trying to do good.
IMO the trouble with karma is, when coupled with reincarnation, that you get in the awful position that people born with disabilities deserve it.
This probably had a lot to do with the Jains practising the caste system too, with the untouchables being discriminated against because of something they did in a past life.
