This blog entry is for me to try to figure something out about karma. but i must emphasize that i have only the most basic understanding of karma...
when something happens to you in this lifetime, say for eg, you ill-treat your pets. based on cause and effect, (1) you will be ill-treated in one of your future lives. BUT it could also be because (2) that pet (which is a human in a previous lifetime) ill-treated you, so it is it's karma that caused its current situation.
Does that sound right? both reasons are plausible, so i am not certain how to interpret it.
If in this same lifetime, you have it all good and is blessed and blissful, and at the same time generating merits from your actions, does this mean that the seed of the negative karma (from ill treating), will not take root and grow?
On the other hand, if it was the pet's bad karma, how will karma affect you this time round, since the negative action came from you? do we still have the choice to do otherwise, ie not ill treat even though it should have been the case?
karma is really a wide field of study. to me more complicated than science
