The Eternal Cycle: Karma

         Karma is the idea that a person’s actions determine their future life. For Hindu’s the law of karma means that a person’s behaviours and actions lead to a punishment or reward in their next life. I experienced a wad of karma today; I’ll give you an example. I was at home and I didn’t listen to my mother when she asked me to do something, then when I asked her to do something for me… she wouldn’t do it. My negative behaviour caused a negative outcome for me. I believe strongly in the idea of karma and that a positive action will cause a positive outcome later. I also believe that if I do a good job in this life, I will be rewarded in my next life. This also means that I also believe that if I act negatively in this life, I will be punished in my next life. I sure hope I’ve been good so far… I wouldn’t want my soul to return as a donkey, a dolphin might be nice… they’re such free creatures. In conclusion, if you’re good, good things happen to you, but if you’re bad, bad things happen to you. So live the life of a well behaved, positive, just person.
