You mention karma. My own take on it is that you are not so much punished for your sins as by your sins.



All sin is essentially just desire. Anything you desire, you will get, in this life or the next. The trouble is most people's desires are unconscious, programmed in or are otherwise unoriginal, which leads to all sorts of trouble and misery. Simply put, to desire is to suffer and make others suffer.


Individuals are icebergs. 90% is under the waterline, out of sight.
