Karma and the Isolation of Facts - Hypnocrisis.com:

"The popular view of karma is that if you do good you will be rewarded with even more good later on in your life. If you do bad, bad things will happen to you. We see that this is ostensible untrue: so many bad people have great fortunes and even more good people have great misfortunes.

This is what forces adherents of karma to adopt either, heaven and hell (yes, Christians have some kind of karmic belief), or start believing in reincarnation. Otherwise karma would be unfair.

But that is the whole point of karma. Karma is a blind force that only states that whatever you do, it has consequences. You cannot avoid getting karma. Everything you do either gives you good karma, or bad karma. And you will face the consequences no matter what you do.

So how do you make karma part of your daily life? Well, you don’t and here’s why:

There is an old problem called the isolation of facts. The idea of karma is that due to some facts you did, you will face some factual consequences. Lucky for us one cannot isolate facts. Even though facts means the opposite, in reality facts do not exist.

Facts are a fabrication, an abstraction. The problem is this: what do you count to be part of a fact and what not. Facts cannot be isolated. Everything is connected to everything else...

This means that even though one accepts karma in ones life, you cannot know which deed is good and which one is evil. Hence you can ignore karma completely. Your most benign act might have the most evil consequences. Not only for you, but for the whole world. Imagine the loveliest couple giving birth to the next Hitler.

Fact is that you have no way of knowing what is good or evil, and given karma as it is, it’s best and most safe to ignore it completely."
