Does your belief in karma help you? You have stated, several times, that it does. Endlessly explaining what you believe to me, as though we had some disagreement as to what you believe, is tedious. You seem to have a problem with the intercessionary concept (not the personal concept). The notion that a god will help, can intercede. That's strange, I think...seeing as how karma is also intercessionary, the difference being that you are in the drivers wheel, rather than a god. You can improve your karma, can you not? You can intercede on your own behalf with your actions in this life, with regards to your next life...can you not? Say you knew, positively knew, that you had "bad karma". You could do something positive to effect that, eh?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
