Karmaphobia (n.) 


The essentially well-founded fear that one day all of your past actions and misdeeds will finally catch up with you, at which point you are most probably in for a very nasty time indeed. 

To avoid karmaphobia, one must practice the well-documented spiritual practices of good action, good thinking, good speaking, good oral hygiene, and so on, performing ritual purification of one's past transgressions on a regular basis. Alternatively, if you can manage to dodge the inevitable negative consequences for so long that you actually die before the karmic energy comes to fruition, then you can pass away safe in the knowledge that any unpleasant consequences will instead be handed down to future generations. Suckers!

Not to be confused with ‘kormaphobia’.
