Indeed. Many people think of karma in terms of rewards and punishments, but it makes more sense to consider karma as the process of restoring balance.
Which is why astrologically Libra is the sign which governs karma, as the symbol for Libra is a set of scales.
When we consider the current state of imbalance which humanity has created on this planet then we have to wonder what karmic processes will be necessary to restore balance.
Peace.
