I find karma to be a very interesting concept. Karma, for those of you who don't know is basically a measure of how good you are in life, and determines if you get a better life in the future or not. Ms. Boyd did ask this in our class, but we didn't really get a good honest chance to answer it in class...
How do you think your karma is? Do you think that your karma is good enough to have a better life in your next life? Or will your life get worse?
I don't think I'd get a lower level, or a higher level either. I think I don't do too bad actions, but every once in a while I do something really stupid, which makes me think that maybe in my next life, it won't be so great...

It hard to answer this question because it can be relative. Like we discussed in class the idea of doing good actions can changed depending on who you are. Personally I think id maybe stay the same. I don't consider myself a bad person in my own terms but as I am now I could be much better. So with that being said I think id stay the same.

I honestly do not think that my karma is that good at the moment. I have made many mistakes in my life that I regret after committing the mistakes. Although some people may think that if you realize your mistakes after committing them, then its all ok, but in fact I disagree. People with good karma should know whats good and bad from the beginning and not commit such mistakes from the start.

I think I would probably stay at the same level or maybe lower. I don't really do stuffs that are bad but many of the times I find myself not using my time efficiently and I don't think wasting is what a person with good karma does. But I think that a person cannot always be good in one's life. I mean.. everyone makes mistakes or sometimes takes a wrong path when making decisions.

I think to me it depends on the daily things and actions and decision that i make which will probably tell whether i will have a good karma or not. because before knowing anything about karma, i was monitoring my life how bad or good it was.

To begin with, I should first define good actions. To me, good actions are sacrificing myself without expecting something back. Looking back my previous years, I didnot have many opportunities to behave such way. This is probably because I am a student. As I grow older and become more independent, I will be able to care about others without being obsessed with my own interest. In that way, by the time I die, I could have generated a positive karma and live a better life in the future.

I think I would have okay karma. I wouldn't have bad karma because I haven't done anything particularly bad to someone, but I wouldn't have really good karma either because I haven't done anything particularly good to anyone. As Cesar said, I think it's all relative. Something really good to someone might be just a normal thing to do for someone else. It's really hard to set the boundaries of what is "good" and what is "bad" and what is just normal. On top of that, I've only lived like 18 years. How much good can someone do it 18 years? I think I still need more time to figure out whether I'd have good karma or bad karma.

If every one little stupid thing, such as not doing homework, getting detentions or fighting with friends, that I have done could be considered as a bad action, I should say I might have bad karma. But since I don't know what kind of actions would be considered as good/bad, I don't know how to judge myself. According to my standard, I haven't done anything that bad, like committing crimes, so I might(hopefully) have good karma.

Its hard to judge myself..It really depends on the way of defining "good" and bad." Of course I did somethings bad: going home late and making my parents worry, getting low grades, lying to my parents, being mean to my friends when I'm in a bad mood and so on.. I bet everyone did something wrong in their life. But after we do it, we regret it, learn from it, and it makes us grow. Back to the question, I think I will stay the same or slightly higher level because I try to be a better person these days.

I guess I don't know...... In my poinion, I think I'm doing pretty good at the moment because I do help people when they are in trouble or poor. I donate even though other people do not know... I also volunteer to work ..Sometime... But I'm not really sure If I have done good job in the past life. I'll have to find out hehehe

I am pretty sure i would get the same level as i am. I did not do anything to harm other people nor i did anything to benefit other people. I live for myself and people i love, not for other people. Maybe if i become successful later and start giving food to poor people, i might be born as a aristocrat in my later life. Honestly, it is hard to be good person just because you want to have better life in next life. Its kinda too long d

It's really hard to evaluate yourself objectively. I'm not sure whether I lived a good or bad life. But I think I lived a normal life. I guess my next life would depend on another person's perspective. I think I would be reborn as the same person.

I think my karma is not that good right now. I feel like there is so many bad things that I have done to lower my karma. But I think I have done somethings that are good so many my next life wouldn't be so bad.
