May I offer a different perspective? Yes, I understand what The Buddha once said :

...There is a river of perceptions in you. You should sit down on the bank of this river and contemplate your perceptions. Most of our perceptions, the Buddha said, are false. Are you sure of your perceptions? This question is addressed to you. It is a bell of mindfulness."
– Thich Nhat Hanh

But I would argue that Good and Bad is a matter of perspective as well as the concept of which came first the chicken or the egg. Perhaps, with matters of spiritual or physical karmas/dharmas (results of past actions or actions on current results) it could be more of a mirroring affect than a matter of what came first or last. An image of a tree being reflected by a body of water that represents the concept of so below as above. Yin and yang baby!
