I don't even know, and I'm a human having a conversation about it.
The lion will never know what it's doing. No thinking, just instinct. Where as you and i can think before we act. Animals : Eat, drink and reproduce. I think we are quite more than that. Karma is not some force telling us what to do. I would like to think of it as intangible force of nature. I believe it because it keeps me doing the right thing. and to think of situations like why am i born like this and why in some parts of the world people suffer from hunger.
