[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 4568196, member: 47758"] The definition of Karma includes the idea that your current station in life is in part established by how you lived in your previous life or lives. In the other direction, how you live this life establishes the basis for your next life. Going just by your second qualifying question, "[I]Do you believe that what goes around, comes around?[/I]", I'd say yes. In my experience, I see "doors" opening and closing for everyone based on how they live. Mostly people are rewarded in life based on their actions. If you live a good life, treat people well, live justly, et al, your life is open to the society of good people who will treat you in kind. That doesn't mean you'll be wealthy or that bad things won't happen to you. What it does mean is that you will be rich in experience. Good people will be a part of your society. In contrast, if you live to hurt others, you are closed from good society. People will not treat you better than you are. Somehow people know, whether they read it in your face, your words, your body language, or moreso your actions. Emerson's essay Compensation presents a good set of ideas on the idea of "what goes around, comes around." [/QUOTE]
