Karma doesn't operate strictly in the fashion of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". Even in Buddhism the exact workings of karma are considered unknowable owing to the complex tapestry of karma accrued from transmigration for countless eons of cosmic expansion and contraction before the creation of our current universe. If I were to use a standard of measure for how karma operates in our current 3d paradigm I might suggest a passage from the new testament:
"For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Using such a definition of karma you can begin to see the inherent challenge of operating in a negative mindset. You can never yourself entertain or indulge those attributes which you judge unworthy in others. Each judgment is separation, or a chance for the negative entity to express that which it's not. This then requires a high order of control and repression of the self to remove those traits deemed worthy of judgment. The price of failure to control is loss of polarization or spiritual power and basically constitutes a karmic backlash. The consequences of this can be quite severe If you imagine the kind of crowd a negative entity would be surrounded by.
