What "force" could be responsible for that definition of karma...

except "a personal god?" It comes as a surprise that you say in

childhood you stopped believing in such a one... when "karma" by this

kind of definition fits no other description except "reward good

thoughts and actions" and "punish bad thoughts and actions?"

 

Holy Cows,

Throw a stone right up in the air and it is likely to fall back on earth.

Gravity is the name for that force. But I like the way you're thinking

How many rocks did you put in temporary orbit? <loud laugh>

But when there is no more suffering, who cares?

 

Freedom,
