What Karma Isn't

Karma noun often capitalized : the force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence

I hear lots of people say things like "Karma's a bitch" when people who do bad things then have some calamity befall them. There is this sort of persistent blending that equates the Bible teaching anything done will paid back seven fold, the old saw of "What goes around comes around, and Karma as though Karma has a place is the Christian vocabulary.

The problem is that Karma (according to the Hindus and Buddhists) is the force which transmigrates the soul. In other it doesn't kick in until after reincarnation.

Or reintarnation if you are coming back as a red neck.

>pause for writer's laughter<

I know this is not original to me but its a funny joke.

So when the person who flips over an innocuous comment, say... oh i don't know, wrecks his car on the way home. It does not mean that Karma has gotten even with him. It means that something he did in his past life is now catching up with him.

Freaking only guarantees he will come back as a deer tick in is next life.

Or ya know an actor.

So anyway I just wanted to drop you all a quick little note to improve religious vocabulary and I hoped this helps.

Have a nice day.

But remember if you do it is because you were a good butterfly in your last life.

C'mon cow....
