The proof in is in the pudding...

There are two missions we are obligated to carry out during our life journey. The first, is to seek truth. The second, is simply to be good.For life is just one big board game where you have to make it from start to finish. And what better way to do so, than to be good? The hardest part is dealing with all the obstacles that prevent smooth sailing. The trick is to always strive to be the right person in all situations – regardless of personal cost. Your aim is to make sure the right book on your shoulder weighs more that the bad book on the left. The scales are real. Regardless of what you choose to believe.

Karma is not an inviolate engine of cosmic punishment. Rather, it is a neutral sequence of acts, results, and consequences. Receiving misfortune does not necessarily indicate that one has committed evil. But it is a sufficient indicator of something else. And that something else can be anything, as long as it is a logical consequence of what has come before. Consider: if you fall into a well, you are not a bad person who deserves to suffer - you are merely someone who took a wrong step. The chain of cause and effect goes way, way back into the deepest hoariest recesses of your personal past. So never rule out retribution. But never expect it.
