Dan: Tony, your perspective doesn't indicate that those who harm others are creating karma by their *present* decision to inflict harm on others. Thus, no action to harm another can be justified by the assumption that to be harmed is the other's karma. I see in this statement little basis for self-inquiry to be useful (why inquire into self-nature if one can simply carry on massacring others with the assurance that all is right with the world) nor for compassion to be valuable (for the same reason). Another thought here: if karma is involved with everything, then saying all is as it should be is redundant - it can't be otherwise. All simply is.
