There's no way I could keep track of what's "right" and what's "wrong."

Yeah, and I guess you could call it karma.

What the hell is karma?

I try and do what's right not because of karma, but because I'll feel guilty if I don't at least try.  |

I'm not concerned about "karma" but you do reap what you sow.

I always try to do what I think is right for a number of reasons, with the thought that what I send out will eventually come back to me being one of them. So, I suppose so.

I act on impulse far too much.

No, but when I'm doing bad stuff, I always think of karma for about 10 seconds and then say "f*ck that sh*t" and resume doing whatever fun thing I'm doing |

*eyeroll* the way to not get any bad karma (if you believe in that) is to actually *mean* it when you do a good deed. not to do it simply out of fear that you'll get bad karma. that's almost even worse than just doing a bad deed. |

But what if you do a bad deed and really mean it? and really enjoy it for that matter?

what's your point?

17 yrs ago, 4 mos ago - Thursday 1/27/05 - 10:23:31 AM EST (GMT-5)
well, it would feel like a good deed to you. Who's the referee here? do we get to question the decision or are all decisions final?

I always try to do the right thing, but because it's the right thing to do, not because I want karma.

but who decides what's right? The Christian God? Buddah? The editors of tabloid newspapers?

In my view, it's not that easy. I decide for myself what I think is right in any given situation. Based on my own conscience, experience, and input from others I trust.

It's the primary reason I try to do the right thing. The whole "do unto others" thing is true, whether, IMO, whether your relgious/spiritual or not.

So by this logic you are free to do whatever you please without karmic debt, as long as you don't feel guilty about it. So the key to paradise is to be a sociopath?

I send out more bad vibes than I'd ideally want to. But I'll take my punishment when it comes, I suppose.
