Karma

It reflects the person's image from other people (I think). If your commenr/s is useful, someone can give you a "karma" point. and if your comment/s sound maybe "hateful" or not useful, someone could "smite" you. I think! Maybe doing a good deed.

 

You just hold your mouse over the "applaud" and click.

 

It's like a middle school popularity contest. Means nothing other than an evaluation by people who don't really know you and may not really matter.

 

One can be insecure at any age BB. Don't put too much stock in it. It's worth zero.

 

That was great.

You did your good deed for the day.

 

Of course you do.

 

Oh yes. That was just a brouhaha waiting to happen!

 

Now there is another application website called "Credit Karma"that checks your credit and gives you for free your FICO score,but lately other websites like credit card companies like Discover and Capital One are now providing FICO scores at no charge to those people who have credit cards with those credit card companies.

 

I'd give you good karma for this Ray LOL glad its turned off

 

in real life is it possible to avert Karma? Does what goes around indeed come back around or are events random and independent?

 

Karma just means action. It's any type of action from thinking to doing to saying. So no, you cannot avert karma. We perform actions continuously. What we can do is be very mindful of the actions we engage in so as to reap positive consequences and avoid negative ones as much as possible.

Of course a lot is outside of our control but the idea is to benefit in terms of internal peace, integrity and calm when you do the "right" thing. Right can be subjective so really, who the heck knows!

 

oh I thought Karma was what was created as a result of your actions, which might be the same thing... like if an action was "neutral" for lack of a better word no Karma was really created, not bad or good. If you did something "bad" to a person, bad being something that takes away their free will... obviously murder the most extreme example of something to create a debt or Karma...

 

No. Karma IS the action (good or bad). There is another word for "fruit of karma" but I can't remember it right now.

So based on what karma you choose to sow, you shall reap at some point in time or in some other life, if you believe in reincarnation.

 

I do believe in reincarnation, the alternative is just too scary for me. I guess in my mind Karma was more complicated then it really is. It's pretty simple the way you describe it.
