Karma bites

I have been watching "My name is Earl". Its about how a man realizes how it is time to fix the bad things he had done in his life and how doing good things would make him feel better and make his life better too - maybe instant karma. I might not be a big believer but the way the show is put is very interesting. If I had to list out the things I would want to fix or make up for, I don't think it would be a very long one, but there sure will be at the least a few apologies to make. Is life that difficult to live? Is it not possible to live a life without hurting, disappointing, disturbing or affecting other people's life or emotions? It does seem like it is easier said.

But going back, does karma really exist? Is the concept of karma, religion, god etc. something our forefathers introduced to keep people in some kind of fear so that they don't go on a wreckage or demolition and harm fellow human beings? Or is it something somebody realized through salvation and tried to spread the word? I guess these are questions that are highly arguable and have and will not be comprehensively and convincingly answered and exist based on belief but at the same time can't be written off either. However, karma does seem an interesting concept and has in recent times been running in my head. Does that mean I am starting to believe in it? The answer to that question is as difficult as answering if karma itself exists and for that matter even god.

I believe I heard while changing channels, somebody claim their god to be the greatest on earth. For some reason this statement didn't sit very well with me. From the way I comprehended it, it seemed to not tally with the number of gods I supposed there were. Was god specific to earth? I thought the universe and more was his. Why would he just be supreme on earth? Shouldn't he be claimed to be the most supreme...? Questioning beliefs and agnostic (& antagonist :) ) as ever, here I blog.
