Gordon Hayward Retires

[Fosto]

Imagine being so self-absorbed, that you think the universe is punishing anyone who makes decisions that don't help your favorite sports team.

 

[The Midnight]

By your interpretation I suppose. So it is just as good as any other platitude, and just as meaningless. Either karma applies or it doesn't. Otherwise it is just random chance.

It applies but in a much more complex manner.

Some could say Karma is life or vice versa, and you wouldn’t be wrong because the 2 are intertwined.

Some don't. Some become teachers to help inner-city kids. Some become priests. Some become therapists. Athletes. Politicians. The list goes on. Is that karma?

Well maybe some kind adults pulled the kids out of that situation and the kid becomes good.

Again, that’s Karma.

That's cause and effect.

Could Luke Skywalker defeat Darth Vader without learning under Yoda?

Think about it.

You know, true believers in karma believe that one's karma is only generated by the individual's actions and therefore only affect that individual, that they do not affect the cause and effect of others.

Think about it.

Maybe. Why not? What if he learned some other way? Somewhere in the chain some proto-jedi taught himself how it all works. Luke could have done that as well, we can never know, but we cannot discount the possibility.

It depends if they come in contact with that other person or not directly or indirectly I guess.

Then the other way is his Karma also.

Where is @David Hume to interject some empirical sanity into this interlocution.

He would very much agree with me.
