Being human ain’t easy. When I’m my messiest human self and can still feel forgiveness, love, and acceptance, I’m embarrassed but grateful. To me this is the core of my beliefs; that despite my inadequacy, I’m still loved. No matter how many good acts, perfection isn’t attainable. This, as well as judgement and right fighting, to me, are the worst of us.
“With Karma you get what you deserve. In Christianity Jesus got what you deserve.”
“Grace is the opposite of Karma.”
Karma, a Sanskrit word that roughly translates to “action,” is a core concept in some Eastern religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism. Though its specifics are different depending on the religion, karma generally denotes the cycle of cause and effect — each action a person takes will affect him or her at some time in the future. Today, people use the word karma in ways that are not wholly consistent with its traditional meaning. For example, karma is often misused to denote luck, destiny or fate. Karma is also misused as a way to explain sudden hardships. With karma, like causes produce like effects; that is, a good deed will lead to a future beneficial effect, while a bad deed will lead to a bad result. If someone commits a good deed for the wrong reasons — making a charitable donation to impress a potential love interest, for example — the action could still be immoral and produce bad karma.
