Is Karma Sutra a thing?

I don't think that the world feels like it needs to wait for a good excuse; if it does, then that that's just good luck.

good point.

FOr some reason I keep coming back to the scene in Little Nicky where the devil has a pineapple shoved up Hitlers butt every day at the same time for all of eternity while he wears a French maids outfit. I think that would be a nice end for some folks.

Oh man :embarrassed:
 
Karma (sanskrit) or Kamma (pali) is a central belief in both Buddhism and Hinduism it is the concept that if you do good to others they will do good to you. In western culture it is often stated "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Westerners often misinterpet karma as a force that strikes down evil doers and when they see evil doers getting away with one evil act after another they feel there is no karma. Karma actually means action, the obvious goal is to go through life performing more good actions than bad ones. Some people try to balance their bad actions by performing good ones. Instant karma very rarely happens (sorry John) but every so often you see something in the news where someone is doing a bad thing and the universe drops an even worse thing on him and people say karma got him. Truth though is it was just bad luck for him. Karma is cumulitive.

So after all that the short answer is a lot of people believe karma is a real thing. I'm one of them.

On the other hand, the Kama Sutra is the Indian sex manual written about 400BC. I know for sure it's a thing because I have seen a copy. My wife said most of those positions were impossible. I said you never know until you try.

I was wondering if Mark was just being a wise-ass and thought Kero had a great response. I was tempted to craft and answer like yours, but I'm still not sure if this was just a misunderstanding or if Mark is effin' with us...?

I am sure Mark was just being wry and satirical, knowing full well about karma and the Kama Sutra. I thought it was a pretty good observation.

I try to explain the cumulative nature of karma to people all the time. They don't get it.

It's our society...we don't want to "wait" for anything, we want it all immediately. In general, we suck...except for those of with the smarts to be a a part of the Mark Wein Guitar Lessons forum community.
