The nature of Karma and Dao

I have worked long and hard for many a year helping others, and I love and adore that part of my life more than any other.

I also have rarely been thanked fully, and it has always given me pause.

I saw recently, and still see now, that karma is something that springs out of deeds that go unrepayed, whether they are for good or ill. The good deeds are irrevocably tied to the fate of our soul, not our sinful deeds. Karma is something that only seems to affect the living world, and it always comes back for us unless it doesn't get its chance.

So where does Dao come in? Well, Dao is the reason why the balancing act of Karma's tit for tat is not always immediate. It takes time, but at the time that it is fulfilled, the negative aspects of life fade away, and the positive ones are made fuller and more intense.

What is the point of this post? First, it is to say hello again after about six months of silence.

Second, it is to let everyone know that they should spend their time doing good deeds, and not kicking themselves over sins that in the end will mean nothing. You can forgive a sin, but you can't do an equal and opposite thing to a kind act, making it effectively never happen, right?
