Yes, but it's really quantum physics.

Everything's connected, everything's affected.

Yes but often not fast enough to satisfy me.

I want revenge and I want it now.

Naw. She's on welfare, and you work 2 jobs.

I do believe in the self-correcting nature of things. Universal laws and principles. Eventually, everything defaults to something. Look at your garden if you don't weed it.
Or perhaps your significant other if you don't come home for a month.

If you believe in karma, I am sure you will witness events that justify your belief in it. As far a proving if it works? Impossible.

Remember kids- correlation does not imply causation

Correlation does not imply causation. And that statement shouldn't be used to automatically discredit correlation studies.

It's a nice, succinct statement, but it's too often used as an attempt to cast doubt on the findings of a study.

I propose a modification to it: Causation implies correlation, but correlation does not imply causation! This makes it more like the square/rectangle statement.

Yes indeed Uewebawo,
But when considering Karma, not actual studies.....

I do like the modification of the statement, but hopefully this would be a natural conclusion best left unstated

and now some wacky stuff
