Speaking of Karma without raising Darma seems a mooth point...
Same as looking at the worshipers of Shiva (goddess of "destruction")
and not understanding their points.

Karma is a concept... judging a concept by its application is like
looking at the concepts of communism applied to Russia, China, Vietnam
and North Korea. The main issue of communism is that the axiom of
rational people is damn wrong. It's a story for 6 year old children so
far in its theory... used to abuse so many millions of people.
(Capitalism is not better, it's just more reality based about the
human's nature).
