--------------------- [원본 메세지] --------------------- "Run over by a truck" is an expression‎ my dear. I never said get run over by a truck. LOL Anyway, humans as an individual and as a society, tend to attribute certain unexplainable event in their lives into the supernatural. Nothing wrong with it. But nothing is right with it also. Perhaps it is our lack of understanding, (or perhaps its because of our tardiness to search and delve into the root of all things, or perhaps we as a specie have not yet attained that certain point or realization and understanding). Frankly speaking, antagonist, "Karma" is one of the most bastardized, over-simplified, and mis-used concept in philosophical/theological history. We used the term Karma, but do we really know what is the real precept, concept and rationale of the word? The Hindus have a different perception of Karma you know. And my comment on the board is based on the misconception of some people about Karma. Anyway, I'd rather enjoy my cup of coffee than discuss Karma... there are things that are presently occupying my mind to delve and argue about this precept. Richard --------------------- [원본 메세지] --------------------- funny! Do you think science explains all cause and effect? I heard that even scientists accept the possibility of intuition and relativism, today. In my opinion, there are differences between Karma and science. I think of Karma as a kind of mystic term when I can't explain the cause and effects. In my view, you seem to generalize all the specific things in a concret concept. I can't agree to your idea. Please, don't make me puzzled to let me realize "Nothing really mystic about Karma" using scary example like a traffic accident. --------------------- [원본 메세지] --------------------- In a way, yes it does exist. Though you do not have to wait to be runned over by a truck to feel it or experience it. In a scientific point of view Karma is "The law of Cause and Effect". Nothing really mystic about it. Richard --------------------- [원본 메세지] --------------------- I have a guest from Hawaii this week. I've never dreamed I would meet her here. Though I'm not a faithful Christian, I didn't believe in Karma. However, I changed my idea a little this year. I just stayed Hawaii for less than two months last year but I met several sincere friends there and some of them visited me this year. Actually, I'm not open-minded so I'm still wondering how I can make foreign friends who have really different characteristic and ideas from me. Considering my personality, it is unusual but if I take it as a kind of Karma, it seems understandable. Does Karma exist?
