Ok, and this intangible force is impersonal I assume. You mentioned earlier that is is people the define good/bad. If this impersonal, intangible force is not a person, how then does it decide your next life will be in poverty and how do you account for moral subjectivity, since as people, we don't all agree on objective morality. In fact it ebbs and flows within generations and varies greatly in cultures. Slavery ok, slavery bad. Beating children ok, scolding child bad.
I'm a middle class, 35 year old white collar caucasian American. What would I have to do in this life to become an impoverished African child born with AIDS in my next life? Are my actions judged by your definition of what is moral, or compared to Mao for example.
Yes sir. It is people themselves who define what is going to happen to them. I have seen karma in action in this life itself. people who were nasty to others and climbed up the corporate ladder. Nasty in terms of cutting his peers , taking bribes , hurting others so that their jobs are at stake. That person prospered by doing wrong acts. Today he is back to ground 0. He lost his job. Compliance team did an investigation. Lost his name in the the industry. Might be coincidence but I believe otherwise.
The force is not a person. Why do you want to become an African child with AIDS ?
