Most Westerners seem to think of it as "What goes aroud comes around" or "As ye sow, so shall you reap." But that isn't karma. It's about what you'll be in your next life based on what you were in your current and/or past ones.

Working in this life, where there are so many evil people with money, fame, evading justice and so many good people suffering greatly.

Both Buddhism and Hinduism teach karma 'acquired' in this life can flower in this same life.

Of course, karma developed as a mechanism to control the behavior of the mass. So maybe putting stock in it is foolish.

And your first argument doesn't prove it wrong. Your second is sensible, though. People should just stop using it altogether.

But it isn't karma.

And FO what?

It's the principle of cause and effect, where a person's actions, thoughts, and intentions determine their future experiences and destiny.

It can happen in this lifetime or it can happen in the future.

That's why I follow the eightfold path.

The assassin should be jailed for life with no parole. We cannot ever condone this.

That said, Kirk made a lot of people very angry with his hateful rhetoric and it is not a surprise that those chickens came home to roost for him.

Violence tends to escalate into a vicious cycle.

Though I won't shed a tear for Charlie Kirk, I fear reprisals will take innocent lives.

Hooray!!! Party time.

We can just imagine what TSF has in store for him now.


And the corporate media.

in 3 days.

Live by the gun and in this case Die By the gun.

Who Charlie Kirk was at this time yesterday morning, looking him up after reading a DU post. This morning - 24 hours later he's dead. Bizarro world.

I've learned to pay attention when synchronicity happens. Messages are sent and you are able to notice them.

"A coincidence is a striking but random convergence of events without inherent meaning, whereas synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence where an individual perceives a deeper significance or a connection to the inner state of their psyche."

Crosses fingers, waiting 24 hours.

That could be called Karma.

Live by the gun Die by the gun.

It's Surreal but here we are.

... by a Middle Eastern guy you probably never read about who said "Love thy neighbor as thyself." I bet that's new to ya, and you probably aren't going to hear it where you are now.

a lot of good points.

Charlie Kirk was an idiot …full stop

You do not stop gun deaths with more guns

but I will no grieve or feel badly for someone who thought loss of life was acceptable.

thoughts and prayers .... grieving .... wait three weeks then lather, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat.

“some gun deaths every single year.”

His type is nothing but a grifter. Anyone who can argue that 6-year-olds can get their heads shot off in their classrooms so his buddies can play guns is not a serious person. He’s a social media grifter.

Just remember, if what happened to him today instead happened to you, he wouldn’t have cared less.

That's what I would call today's news..

I sincerely hope that all of Mr Kirk's supporters and fans are celebrating the 2nd Amendment tonight.

I did not know who this guy was. Another que that our electronic devices feed us with our political views. We are so divided and we need to understand both sides to be a civil society. I get a lot of info that clearly has a liberal slant. I try to watch FOX, but it is just absolute crap. I don't know if or how to change anything with the current internet companies that have figured out how to program their algorithms to fit our views. They are spoon feeding us division.

…so shall ye reap.
