Of Karma Points

Now i'm not trying to push Buddhist concepts to you.. but for those who are close enough to me, you should be aware that my religious orientations tends to be closer towards the Buddhist train of thoughts, not exacting your local sense of Buddhism but more of a zen Buddhism sort that's really hard to explain through this blog.

What brings us to the topic of the day now is the concept of Karma Points, first heard and introduced by a guy i spend 9 months with.. shock? well, ask me for details and i'll tell you

So, Karma points - it helps when you already know what karma means, and it'll leave you scratching your heads if you don't, monks scratch their heads once in awhile too you know..

karma, simply put (ie. my version) is a general concept that things eventually balances out.. the complication here is that the calculation begins why before your current life.. so what you have done well today might not be rewarded this lifetime, likewise some evil that you have committed doesn't mean you will suffer the full effects now, get it?

If you aren't already confused, it is generally considered positive karma for all of us here reading this because you are human, now how bad can that be compared to that lizard crawling outside my window and that bird that's sleeping on the tree by the main road.. you get the picture don't you..

So now, karma points are earned/deducted by the deeds that you do... points are added when good acts are done, such as giving up your seat on the bus/mrt to someone who needs it more than you, donating blood at this weekend's blood donation drive at doby ghaut MRT station and telling me how i have lost weight the next time you see me(now i'm not sure if lying but making me happy will have a positive or negative impact on your points, but just give me some joy alright)

Points are effectively deducted when you do things less desirable.. throwing that litter on the floor, cursing that guy who squeeze pass you into the train earlier although he's wrong, cursing that colleague for throwing shitloads on you while they go for some exotic holiday, stomping on those ants/cockroaches on your way home or simply when you comment or think in your head how silly i am to believe in karma..

So its a system of points that evens out in some way or another, do you believe in karma?
