Title: Karma
Post by: Proofreaders2000 on February 10, 2010, 03:37:52 PM
According to Merriam Webster, Karma is the force generated by a persons actions...and its ethical consequence....

Would bad Karma affect your game?

(example: Would you expect a child molester or a spouse batterer to do well at games of chance?)

Not sure what the reference to Ken means?  If it is what I think it is I would expect a higher level of decorum from a moderator.  But I guess that is the state of things now huh Davey ??

Well... If you don't know what it means then don't worry about it.

Karma is directly proportionate to your level of conscience.

So, no conscience = no Karma.

If you believe in karma, then for you it exists. Does it really exist? Doubtful. Life doesn't make sense, so we invent concepts that make it balance out to make us feel better.

Good response Bombus-

Personal perception can feel painfully real but is it, in fact,  REALITY ???
