    Curious about about your thinking fetboy

    According to karma theory, don't you think I might have deserved everything I got? Might I not have done some evil in a past life which I needed to repay.

    I have chatted with people who though everything was karma. I once chatted with a guy who thought that an abused child should not be encouraged to report her abusive mother but rather should let the karma play itself out lest she incur more karma debt.
