Karma is a figment of peoples' imaginations, originally used by Hindus to get out of paying debts in a present incarnation and promising to repay them in a future incarnation. Of course, the debts were
never repaid, and common usage came to define karma as bad things happening to
people who owed debts from past incarnations. Eventually it was expanded to include explaining why good things happened to
people who seemed undeserving of having luck. They MUST HAVE done something in a past life to have such luck in this life. Common usage further expanded this meaning to the point where we alive today use karma as an excuse for
people having inexplicably good or bad luck.
Karma is just another word meaning coincidence or luck that happens in any person's lifetime. Like other usurped words, the meanings are changed to suit our own purposes. If Karma existed, Western based cultures would never have taken over North and South America from their aboriginal
people, using actions like giving away blankets filled with smallpox, trading beads for entire tracts of lands, providing liquor to people who had no tolerance, decimating the main food source of the plains peoples, outright murdering whole villages, and attempting genocide by sending aboriginal children to residential schools where they were physically, mentally, and sexually abused and then saying, "Oops, we screwed up!
Sorry," and as penance giving harmed individuals
money when clean
water, arable land, and
help to recover the
art of
child-raising were so badly needed to keep aboriginal children from needlessly committing suicide , you can bet if Karma existed white people would have been wiped off the
face of this planet. Meanwhile, unlike whites, people of colour would do whatever it took to
help white people survive. No, there is no such thing as karma, and we white folk should be very glad there isn't.
