karma
karma [kahr-muh] is defined as complicated as ‘<Theosophy>. the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person’s deeds in the previous incarnation. ‘
As my dictionary does not define incarnation to exist, i would say it’s for every deeds that we did in any single second of our life. And the reward/ punish will come afterwards. In short, there is one life and yet karma still takes place.
I may sound too naive - you could say this. It’s just a thinking that being flagged to avoid bad deeds. To have this in mind you will not want to be bad guy which will be getting bad things. Nope, it’s not. Because good deeds, at least for me, are not there in the first place in hoping for good things afterwards. It’s as sincere as bad deeds done inconsciously.
I am not gonna looking back for causes of what’s happening now. I would rather to be more careful of present instead.
