Time to finish this one up I suppose.

One could view the situatiion as a Karma payoff, and pocket the cash with a clean consience by justifying the loser of the money as having a karmaic debt to pay.

I wouldn't squander my karma in that way though. Would rather generate a high from returning it to the owner. Adding to the Karma account, and saving it for when I really need it. Hopefully passing one of those universal tests in the process.

Though there have been times where I have found large sums of money without knowing who lost it. Even keeping that would potentially drain the Karma account, while giving it to someone in real need would add to that account.

Not that I have any real clue on the true meanings of Karma, that is just my theory.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

Isn't that a car that was made by VW on a Beetle chassis? You know, the Karma Ghia? No, wait. She was a singer and dancer popular in the 40's, Karma Miranda! Or is it the name of an opera? Then again it could be two words as in, "Can I borrow the kar ma? I have a date tonite."
Then again, it might be one's fate; good or bad, here or in the afterlife, based upon our actions...naaaaa

I like that. "Free Will" in a profound shell...

Now to connect that concept to the concept of personnal responsibility...

I thought I'd share what it says in my encyclopedia dictionary...

karma 1. (in Buddhism and theosophy) all the acts, words, and thoughts of one life, supposed to determine a person's fate in his next stage of existence.
2. fate; destiny; kismet

karmic of, having to do with, or determined by karma: ...the karmic law...will be seen not only to reconcile itself to the sense of justice, but to constitute the only imaginable method of natural action that would do this

How can I disagree with karma when I don't have a choice? It's another natural wonder like Mother Nature, neither of which we have any control over. Karma is a natural action that exists whether we notice or not, whether we believe in it or not. It's up to each individual to adhere to that natural action and work with it, rather than against it. Since I would never be dumb enough to mess with Mother Nature, I won't mess with karma either. Go with the flow...

Fighting the good fight earns spins Karma in one's favor; lving a lie and ripping others off - may pay off in the short-run (you might even become president) but that karma is working more and more against you.

Sometimes the consequences are concrete and observable, like with Rush Limbaugh's personal implosion. He spent so much time and effort dissing two-thirds of humanity and when he went down few people were there for him and he inherited a lifetime of crow to eat.

So many time the Preacher Man and the Bible Thumper want to tell us we had better be sure of our beliefs as a way to challenge what we think. The same holds true for them, especially for the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world. Charaltans, liars, connivers all work tirelsessly digging themselves a karmic hole. This may be what is meant in the old Testament with "Vengence is mine" sayeth the Lord.

The path is easy but avoiding distractions - like greed - and mirage's and tricks of other people is difficult. Sticking to the path might seem dull in thse so-called "modern times".

Actually, bush is equal to 17.635 Nixons. I would show the formula but only those with a dual major of mathmatics and political science would understand. The digs on religion are correct as far as they go. The Catholic church, for instance must have turned many off to organized religion. They are comming around, however. Just a few years ago the Vatican, after a 13 year study said it was wrong to persecute Galaleo for claiming the Earth orbits the Sun!!! WOW!!! And don't even get me started on the cover up of molestation!!!

To be honest i do not believe "what goes around comes around." I think if people wait long enough for something bad to happen it will, because bad things happen to everyone. I do think that pissing everyone off and burning bridges is still a bad idea, but i do not believe there is a cosmic return of bad and or good energy to the person, i just believe that bad and good things happen to all, i guess i believe in chaos. There are plenty of good people that get their lives screwed over, and there are plenty of really nasty people that live out completely wonderful lives at the expense of others. Of course living a life where you stab people in the back and lie is going to set you up for someone to do the same to you, but it doesnt mean it will (ahem...bush...ahem). Thanks for listening
