Are human actions not bound by a cause and effect relation ? |

| quote: | UXBRIDGE, Mass. -- A convicted Level 3 sex offender has won $10 million in the Massachusetts State Lottery.
The Worcester Gazette & Telegram reports 56-year-old Daniel Snay, of Uxbridge, could now face charges because he failed to notify authorities that he had moved, according to Connecticut State Police.
“I’m flabbergasted,” Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance told the Telegram. “His whereabouts, until you told me about this, have been unknown to us. But I guess you could say he’s very fortunate.”

Snay works driving trucks for a yacht dealership in Mendon. He won the $10 million from a $20 scratch ticket purchased at Cumberland Farms in Hopedale.
But the lottery winnings also come with unwanted publicity.
“He was concerned, but there’s not much you can do about it,” said Snay’s lawyer Joseph M. Fabricotti. “We talked about it and he understood this was one of the repercussions that could happen.”
Snay’s record of sexual assaults dates back to 1974. He has been convicted six times of indecent assault and battery in Massachusetts. Level 3 offenders are considered the most dangerous and the most
likely to commit another crime. |

but they do not behave in the same fashion; there isn't necessarily an "equal and opposite" reaction the same way there is in the physics sense.
i could sneak next door right now and throw a brick through their window, and as long as i don't get caught doing so, there wont be any effect passed onto me.
of course i believe in "social karma" - the way in which you behave and treat people will of course have a relationship to how you are treated in return, but only if people have absolute knowledge of good/bad things you've done.
IF nobody notices the missing money, and IF nobody ever mentions it to anyone else, then there surely will never be resulting "bad karma" from taking the money. and if so, how?
the concept of real, spiritual karma is absolute nonsense, sitting right next to astrology on pkc's respect ladder. |

I like this idea. Or buy some drugs, consume them, and become extremely paranoid about it for fun. |

No there isn't. But lack of quantitative evidence does not necessarily mean that the mechanism does not exist. Karma (spiritual or whatever) is simply a cause-effect relation. Cause-Effect is the most fundamental relation which governs the dynamics of the physical universe. I don't see how human actions at all levels are not in any way bound by this relation.

How will you prove or disprove this ? Life spans over several decades and given the fact that the reaction may not be equal, opposite or instantaneous, you cannot say that this action will not result in an unpleasant effect at a later stage of your life. I admit it's equally impossible to prove that a future effect is tied up to this cause.

Human actions originate first in the mind and are then completed through the physical body. If the physical actions qualify as "bad" then I would also qualify the thoughts behind these actions as "bad". Killing someone and wishing someone death are both "bad" in my books. Social karma would simply be a subset of a more generalized version of karma.

Yeah but how would the person who stole the money know that ? There is no way for him to know this for a fact. I would go on and say that this may never be 100% true given the fact that stealing money is bad and hence adds up to bad karma and hence is bound to create an unpleasant reaction of some sort. |

| It is incredible that you don't wish to extend the simple cause-effect relation to anything other than gross material aspects of the universe. In time, science will be able to quantify and understand the laws that govern such aspects as mind, emotions, human actions etc and may discover that the same fundamental relation also governs the dynamics of these things. |
