The relationship between kammic causes and their effects is entirely regular: Skillful intentions lead to favorable results, unskillful ones to unfavorable results.

"Although the precise working out of the kammic process is somewhat unpredictable, it is not chaotic. The relationship between kammic causes and their effects is entirely regular: when an action is of the sort that it will be felt in such and such a way, that is how its result will be experienced [AN3:99]. Skillful intentions lead to favorable results, unskillful ones to unfavorable results."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "The Wings to Awakening"
