Karma

[j2k4]

But then I also believe that when you die you experience everything good and bad that you cause including how your actions affect people interacting with those you directly impact.. A large number of people who have been clinicly dead and come back will describe exactly that..

Yes, surely the little ultimate and life-ending personal film strip everyone sees would, in the case of, say, a serial killer, strike naught but a series of minor keys and dark cinematic hues...

Welp, I definately believe in it, but I am pretty convinced by past lives too, so perhaps it is possible that karma persists through future lives as a method of developing your soul.

Actually I guess maybe it is a bit simpler, all your actions good and bad have consequences, sometimes they aren't always evident to you or especially to others (we judge and condemn ourselves the worst at times).

You know what just the belief on the surface, I can respect (not believe in myself). However, saying every action has a consequence is a no-brainer.

Just don't fucking tell me that if I curse out an old lady that it is the reason that my car stereo was taken.

It's the reasons that are stupid.

If rob a bank then go to jail or get shot. OK
If I helped someone then later on they remember that and help me. OK

Those are direct relationships.

People with karma beliefs have got things that have shit all to do with each other relating cuz it sounds good.

So, then.

Why was your car stereo taken.

Did you intentionally cross some wires.

You are being intentionally ungracious.

You cad.

Mmk next time can you insult me with something more mainstream.

I at least would like to feel like saying something insulting back.

Person 1: "You are such a dweebassed twerp."

Person 2: "Oh yeah. Well you're a cad."

Person 1: "Well alrighty then."

Oh, sorry.

Didn't realize you were unarmed.

I just wish you two would stop fucking up every thread in here, you are like a couple of little kids.


As I understand it, Karma means that everything is pre-planned.

If it isn't preplanned, we try our best to change things to our advantage; sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail.

If it is preplanned, our attempts to change things to our advantage are also preplanned, as is the success or failure.

Since we don't know which is which, what difference does it make?

Then that's something for you to take up with your cohort in team chat.

I was on topic until asked about my car stereo.

I even told j2 to go do his rounds but he wouldn't listen.

Furthermore, skip over the one or two off-topic responses by each of us if it bothers you so much.

That's all it was, btw.

You can always strike the posts from the record.

Also you are wrong about karma.

My beliefs are a little more complicated.. What with the likelyhood of possible infinite parallel universes free will is truth.. I don't equate karma with predestination, merely as another opportunity to re-member and update one's perspective..

Also, I do think karma isn't usually very obvious.. It would be too easy to avoid the consequences like that..
