Boo, You whore.

Karma, believe it… or don’t… its pretty simple. But then again there is really no need to prove what a dumb ass you are by preaching what you do not even understand. So perhaps take the time to research something before you go on and on about how much Karma loves you.

Concept:

The explanation of karma can differ per tradition. Usually it is believed to be a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The results or “fruits” of actions are called karma-phala. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one’s own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one’s present life and all past and future lives as well. It is cumulative.

The four laws of Karma:

1. Results are similar to the cause. Simply said, when I cause other people harm, I will harvest suffering myself. It is important to note here, that “positive” actions are defined as actions that have happiness as a result; “negative” actions are defined as actions that lead to suffering as a result.
2. No results without a cause. As is obvious within science, things do not just appear out of nothing.
3. Once an action is done, the result is never lost. Similarly as above, things do not just disappear into nothing.
4. Karma expands. Once we have an imprint of an action in our mind, it tends to be habit-forming. As is often said in wars for example, killing the first enemy is tough, but after a handful, one quickly loses count and it becomes “normal”. Also psychology often stresses a similar point when e.g. explaining actions of adults from their childhood experiences.

It is an ethical principle, not an explanation for why bad things happen to people. You can’t really just say – “oh there you go, that’s karma for you” because someone did something you didn’t like. Because clearly, unless you are finding this hard to understand, it is not only “good” and “bad” karma – but purification (the power of object, regret, promise and practice.) Karma is not decided by you and those of us who do understand it would like your bad attitude out of our faces.

“All the suffering of this world arises from a wrong attitude.
The world is neither good or bad.
It is only the relation to our ego that makes it seem the one or the other.”

- Lama Anagorika Govinda

Having nothing one minute – having it all the next

And vice versa. You work it out. 

“For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment.”
