On that very final count I'd agree..sure. Live a good life, regardless. I'm trying to help you live that good life, by suggesting that a victim blaming faith system isn't a part of it. Your system of moral practices might work, if you'd actually use it.......
Wheres 1 or 2 in telling a girl that she decided, in her last life, to be raped in this life? Would you accept this explanation if you were raped...wheres 3? Seems to me you're reveling more in the misery of others, than their joy...when we started in on this you could have said "well, sometimes good people don;t get enough good before they die..where's the justice?" -but you didn't, you're clearly much more concerned with punishment, and that people can't escape it. So where's 4?
The comments you make are what give you marks, in my book -good or bad-..not the ramblings you claim to live your life by. My thought, is that your moral system is ineffective - at least in your case, and that karma simply can't fit in with it, as you've described it, - regardless of it's truth.

Quote:They don't want me smashing their windows so they're going to do something about it.-mention is required...of all those times that people -can't- do anything about it, and karma fails to manifest its awesome power in retribution. We're told "in the next life"...yeah, sure, and Jehovahs going to judge them, and Allahs going to toss them in a lake of fire, and they'll be fed to The Devourer after MAAT has weighed in. Each and every one an empty promise, hollow assurance made by those who very literally know nothing of the subject...... and yet prattle on endlessly about justice and morality nevertheless.
