Karma: is a concept in Hinduism which explains causality through a system where beneficial effects are derived from past beneficial actions and harmful effects from past harmful actions, creating a system of actions and reactions throughout a souls reincarnated lives forming a cycle of birth.
A few examples:
-When I was in college, a giant rainstorm came and created a 3 foot by 5 foot puddle in front of the sidewalk. A car came, splashed the water up and hit the girl standing beside me like a tidal wave. Needless to say, she got soaked. That my friends is karma.
-One time in college, I had invited 5 dates to the same dance. When the next dance rolled around, I had no dates. That's karma.
But here's the thing about karma, it can come back out out of no where. I've been working on my karma for a long time. I had thought that I was doing really good and then this weekend hit. A huge bomb was dropped into my karma. I'm still trying to decipher it but I can't decide if it's bad karma or good. I even had a friend say, "steer clear of it. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot poll". So we'll see how this whole karma thing goes over the next few days.
Wish me luck, I might need it....
