Karma means Action!

Read somewhere that the word Karma actually means Action.

When you think about it, it does make sense. There is cause and effect, action and re-action.
When you do something (action), it will bring about something else (re-action). So simply put. There is just ACTION.

That might be what karma really is.
So assuming that karma means action, what does it mean to your life?

Can i say that it means that action will never stop?

Yes, because every single action will lead to an re-action, which might lead to another re-action, and so now.

But if there is actually an end point for each action, like a wave that reaches the shore, where it is stopped (somewhat), than, there might be means to stop or reduce the re-action.

What we (pple who believe in karma) should do, is to change and find means to reduce/stop the re-action from happening (provided the re-action is a negative one). There must be the understanding and belief that your karma can be changed/improved for the better. To do/achieve good action that will stop or reduce the impact of the wave. To plant the seeds of good karma (like a coconut), so that when your wave of negative karma comes along, the impact will be reduced by the presence of the coconut tree. [maybe mangrove trees might be a better example]

In short, think about the re-action before each and every action!
