The thing I wonder is why do some very good people that supposedly stack good level of karma don't have that much of a great life. I see a lot of good people suffer, as well as shitty people living happily.
Also I've always believed that Karma was invented by selfish people who don't want people to use their power. If we think of influencing someone as accumulating bad karma, then how about that passive influencing we're all both subject and target at the same time ? We're influencing each other all the time without even knowing it.
Here's what a guy says about that:
Food for thoughts.

Here's what a guy says about that:
Quote:We can go about influencing others with no feelings of blame. We human beings are not free; we behave like blind machines permanently and automatically reacting to internal and external stimuli. We are inadvertently overdetermined in our attitudes and are ignorant of the real motives for our behavior, even though sometimes we believe ourselves to be free. We are slaves who consciously or unconsciously influence and are influenced by a million and one different things all the time. Thousands of stimuli have an impact on us at every moment, from the energy of the stars to the television screen, from the news in the papers to what the neighbors are wearing. The ability and techniques to influence the behavior of others are just one more stimulus or suggestion, albeit invisible, of great power, and are capable of imposing themselves and predominating in the mind of the other. It is impossible to make the human being more of a slave than he already is. Real freedom is only a possibility for him, only attainable after huge sacrifices.
Food for thoughts.
