In Buddhist philosophy, at least, Kamma means volition or intent. The philosophy is, the circumstances of now are the
results of past kamma. but kamma is the intent one holds here and now. Intents (or kamma) are the primal urge to move the mind in some way.
Hence, unfortunate circumstances are not 'bad kamma', but having negative intents, such as hatred, greed and so on toward such circimstances can be called 'bad kamma' because that's 'suffering'.
That sufferer will spread their negativity around with their force of will by creating conditions that are harmful to others, who then also start to express hatred, greed and so forth - i.e. 'suffer'.
