Of Karma and Probabilities

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:26:00 -0600

Do you believe in Karma? I do.

To me, Karma is simply a matter of probabilities. What goes around comes around, naturally. The more good you do, the more good you inject into The System, thus increasing the amount of good in it, relative to bad. The more good there is in The System, the more likely it is that the next thing you bump into will be good.

So there you go: Karma. It makes mathematical sense.

Inspired by a short exchange with @spookydarkly.
