karma on other people are wishful thinking/irrational rationalization. (he do bad and got away, so he'll be punished somehow in future)
karma on self is irrational pattern-finding on matters of coincidence.
personal story, i once accidentally scratched someone's car, got scared and kept quiet, that night someone else scratched my car and confessed. kinda inspired me and i confessed of my actions the next day. is there a god/karma teaching me something, or me thinking too much about a series of events?

well, i dont look upon it as the universe's revenge on me, its more like the universe giving me a lesson ie, "the other person scratched you car and confess, shouldnt you try the same thing?"
but all in all, its just fancy over thinking on my part. still dont believe in karma despite at times i feel my life is part of some cosmic joke/movie

i dont feel it is correct to label good karma/bad karma. there are only cause and effect. the concept of karma is to treat it as natural force. you dont go around calling gravity good/bad right?

QUOTE(soul2soul @ May 30 2010, 07:14 PM) Does not work like that. You cannot actually cancel the Karma. You are playing with probability. It's even worse you if think there is someone who can absorb your sins away. yeap, in karma, there is no such thing as a get out of jail free card. you do bad things, you pay. regardless of anything else you do. its that brutal. having say that, still dont believe in it  |

QUOTE(Beastboy @ May 31 2010, 12:16 AM) Ok I see what u mean. It is slightly different than the Buddha's explanation. He likened bad karma as a lump of salt in a river and the water surrounding it as good karma. If your river is tiny, the water is salty and life isn't sweet. But if your water flow is a big raging river, you won't notice the saltiness and life is good. The logic is not one of probability but of one force overcrowding the other and rendering it statistically irrelevant. if your pocket is filled with black stones, you will get black stones most of the time. if your pocket is filled with white stones, you will hardly notice the black. no matter how big the river (lake would be a better analogy, as river implies that it is transient) the salt does not disappear. or if you are filthy rich, you probably wont notice much if someone bang your car. but your car still get banged regardless.

QUOTE(Beastboy @ May 31 2010, 07:59 AM) Exactly. A rich man won't feel the loss of a few cents and if you did a study on happy people, they'll tell you their happy moments outnumber the bad moments. Same with unhappy people. Neither one escapes the pleasant or the unpleasant. Its just that one outweighs the other. but the bad things still happens. that is what it means that you cant cancel out karma, but your reaction towards the retribution may differ depending on your other karma |

QUOTE(nghoongen @ Jun 6 2010, 12:22 AM) but still. Buddha said before that it is never too late to turn into 'a new leaf'.  never too late to add more water to dissolve the salt. but u cant get rid of the salt |
