LOL @ Karma. Some mindless, random energy keeps track of our deeds and decides whether they were good or bad.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
Theres plenty of definitions for Karma,. that our positive or negative actions will be repayed to us, or that they have an effect on who we are in the next life... (riiiiiiiiight)
But the literal translation of Karma is "action", and used in this context, can simply mean that we will be effected by the consequenses of our actions. Which is not always true, but as long as you have a conscience, if you do something that effects someone else, whether it be good or bad, it will effect you psychologically. (Which is essentially what JesusFreak said)
JesusFreak, there is value in a guilty conscience, as long as you learn from it. When you realize your error, and use that to become a better person, you can then discard of the guilt as you are no longer the person who behaved so poorly.
21gone, of course if the lesson is only "dont pick on bald guys", just because you're losing it too, there really wasnt much learned. If you've learned to treat people in general with more respect, and not point out things they may be self conscious and sensitive of, thats good Karma for you.
