Debunking the myth of the Karmma

If you have more proofs add too.

If I go over to your house, right now, and kill you,
Most likely:
someone you know,
would get angry at me,
and pursue a course of action,
that would soon lead to my own experience of pain

that is just most likely,
but not necessarily true,

because it depends on:
who you know
and
those peoples desire to punish the person who caused you pain.
but it also depends on:
how forgiving the other people involved are
(which would determine their part of their own karmic experience
- i.e. being more forgiving, is good karma)

so at some level, it does appear that there is a reality to karma.

Finally:
by having the least beliefs,
you would be creating the least karma,
which would be the most peaceful state of mind
(i.e. best karma; if you believed in karma)

but there must be some basic karma beliefs,
such as less killing from me,
means I personally will witness less killing (theoretically).
