<This is an imposition on the readers of this thread, I know. Skip my next post/s unless your heart is strengthened by the conviction that the described sufferings are God-sanctioned-- that these people have gotten what they, somehow, on a celestial level, deserve.> E, I am probably just muddying the waters here, jumping in in the middle, but aren't there several different concepts of karma? I don't think of it as purely religious, or supporting a helpless condition at all. I think I believe in it more like Sam seems to be saying, as a learning process which includes taking responsibility, rather than simply fate. For example, Sam is saying that he had a significant hand in creating the poor health which led to his painful and precarious medical condition. I also think that I play an important role in much of what "happens" to me. Is it possible that karma in the poor and unfortunate who have NEVER had much of a causative role in their own experience, is different than in relatively privileged western people who adopt it as part of their belief system?
