If Karma existed

Which it doesn't

You might like to call it "Coincidence" or "Consequence", but it's still the same thing.

No it's not
If we're talking about karma in the strict sense that it applies to how your next life plays out, then there's no provable answer as to it's existence.
If we're talking about it being 'something that catches up with you if you do something bad or greedy', then no it is not the same as 'coincidence' or 'consequence'. Plus, the very act of saying you'll do something selfless so that karma rewards you later is a selfish act, thus arguably would get you punished later.
Everything is a consequence of things that happened before, but there is no logical reason to associate any type of mysticism or supernatural element to it.

I live in a bubble world with my own faiths and beliefs, please don't try and pop them.
I believe that by the very act of "being a decent/charitable/good/whatever person", the rewards that come from that would be any of a number of things (such as people seeing you're a good person and wanting to hang around you, or help you in the future), but absolutly mostly, is that it makes _you_ be able to feel good about _your_self. That is the reward from doing good deeds.

I was once told that you undo any good you do if you mention charity, I think that's bullshit, because let's say someone was a billionare and gave a few million to restore an old person's home; if he mentions it does the house burn down or something? There is a huge following of the richest people in the western world who are dedicating the _majority_ of their fortunes to helping out others... I bet they feel fucking awesome about that, and why shouldn't they?

If everyone believed essenchally 'what goes around, comes around', which is my very simplistic interpritation of Karma, the world would be a much better place.

I don't believe the karama thing in regards to 'the next life', but that's the good thing about faith and beliefs, like with cooking, you can make it fit your own bill.

The only thing that goes around/comes around is the Circle line
and that's not very often
