I've been thinking about karma quite a bit in the last few days.
The definition of karma is "sum of person's actions in one of his successive states of existence, viewed as deciding his fate for the next; destiny; hence".
It came up on yoga on Friday. A few people were having one of those weird, deep conversations that always come out of no where. I wanted to say something, but, as usual I couldn't. Basically it made me think, is there actually such a thing as karma? I don't know - I don't think I have the right to sit here and say something doesn't exist when, actually I wouldn't know anyway, like, I don't see everything. No one does.
I was just wondering if karma is this huge universal thing it's all cracked up to be. I was wondering if, when it comes down to it, it's nothing more than some people truly and honestly believing they deserve all the bad things they get. Whether karma is actually just people being paranoid. A kind of paranoid that they may have grown up with, may have had built into them.
It's not really something I want to have living in my brain though, so I hope I stop thinking about it soon. The extra paranoia of racking your brain trying to find the action that lead to the brick finding it's way to your skull is something I think we could all do without.
And living this life, only to spend all your time worrying about the next one, isn't really living at all, is it?
