Karma

Who believes in Karma? Is anybody really motivated to do good acts, hoping that karma will bless them and make some obsure point in their future easier? The theory is that karma will bless you three times over. So does that mean for every good act I commit, karma will grant me three easy passes for life's crazy moments? Or is it that for every good act, I get one whopper of a good deed done to me? Is it on a point system? How do you know if you owe karma, or if karma is looking for some payback? Will karma call you like pesky debt collecters? "Uh, excuse me..yes you, this is karma calling, I helped you out last week with that not-enough-money-for-the-coffee-you-really-needed, but I just checked, and you owe me." What would you do? Would you rush out and throw your coat over a puddle then force some lady into a cab? Or toss some coins into the blind guy's cup? If it's forced, is it really karma? Or just guilt?
More importantly, can you loan people karma? "Hey David! This is Samantha, uhh.. I know you have some karma saved up, can you transfer some over to me...I'm in a bit of trouble... I promise to kick some karma back..." Then, if David lends you karma do his points tripple? It should! He just did a good deed! Or does he win the lottery without even buying a ticket! Now that would be some cool karma.
It goes without saying, that if there's good karma, then there must be bad karma. You can't have one without the other. It's just like ying and yang right? A little bit of black on white to match the little bit of white on black, and they fit together so well you know it's a perfect match. So, if I'm having a really bad day, instead of calling it a bad day, I can just say "give me a break! Karma's kickin' my ass!" In fact, I do use that saying...and I'm not sure I believe in karma! Does that make me lose points? I wonder if there's a national register for karma points. Is it like American Express points that I can cash in for fun things?
Can you use karma as a cash register? Save up a whole bunch of acts until crunch time, then go out and blow it on one big 'easy' pass! Why not! Is there karma police? And if there was, what did they do to earn that job for eternity? Can you imagine the headache that job would be? Six billion people (give or take) breathing on this planet! The workload involved in keeping those numbers straight must be exhausting!
How about we just 'leave it up to Karma' to sort this out. I think I see a puddle I can jump in: I'll lose a few points if I splash somebody, but gain a few if I water a flower...here's to Karma!
