Karma - Believe it or Not?

Ahnimus

Well, I see people mentioning Karma all the time. Must be lots of Earl fans.

Does anyone actually believe in Karma?

I do, you reap what you sow. you made your bed, you lie in it.. and all those great lines my mom used to say. I'll tell you from experience that in the past I've got what was coming to me when I dished it out and Im glad that I got what was coming to me, because it made me realize that I am not the only one who exists in this world. Pay back is a bitch as they say.
It's all about karma. what comes around goes around.

I hope you are right, cause I've got about 20 years of happiness coming to me.

Hey, what about those children that get all blown up? What did they do to deserve that? Certainly Karma isn't going to repay them.

So then there is only half-Karma, or Karma is selective, it's really unpredictable?

Personally, I think it's bullshit. The karma we recognize as karma is really just revenge and consequences.

I think you need a good lay, i mean.. all day today Ive been reading your posts and it just seems like you have all this pent up anger or something... you need to release. I think if you had a good romp every few days that might help you. If you're single.. around my age and cute.. because you already like PJ and if you like Hockey.. maybe we could work something out.. im always into helping people out. haha. just kidding.. but seriously, you need to get fucked... oops, I mean made love to.

Well, uh, that sounds like a great idea. Perhaps I could use a little sexual healing. It might make me a bit more tactful in my posts.

Hi, my name is Ryan, I'm 25, 6', brown hair, hazel eyes, average build....

This is my new pickup line for the bars, I'm still working on it. I want it to sound just like a lavalife profile

Well, pretty much, that and Destiny Theory.

See, Determinism and Predeterminism are two different things.

so you reckon that no matter how we live our lives, the result has already been determined and we are basically useless to resist? we can take all the detours we like and it won't make a lick of difference?

That is right, except there are no detours. Every detour you take was predetermined, therefor it's not a detour.

If you could rewind time and watch it on a big screen, when you hit play everything would play out exactly the same way it did the first time.

"If I knew then what I know now."

Then you would have made a different choice, but seeing as you knew then what you knew then, you made the best choice you knew how. If you rewind time, you have to undo what you know now, so going back to that point in time, you are left with the same things you knew then and you won't know what you know now. Your screwed.
