I see. So... we basically agree, just see it in two seperate lights. That's good
And I think you mis-understood me. I don't mean bad or good karma, as in... stealing is bad, docoring is good. I mean negative and positive in your perspective. The guy who shot the guy was calling down posotive/good in his point of view, but bad in someone else's. In the big picture, all Karma is just... white... both yes and no.

Looking at you.
I am glad we have found common ground.
However, how I believe, karma is not negative or positive, it just is.
Sense you are new here, I am a Nichiren Buddhist, and I draw my knowledge from the Lotus Sutra and the writing of Nichiren Daishonin, I don't just know this stuff.
You don't get it. I am agreeing with you!! Karma is just... nothingness, in it's own being. I mean negative in one's own perspective. The ball can hit off the wall and hit you in the face, or it can fly into your hand. The Karma itself is not actually good or bad, but it's effect on you can be good or bad to you, in your eyes.

Then we agree! I try to free my self of terms like negative and positive. While you were writing your last post I wrote this...
I’m sorry, my last statement sounded a little arrogant; so let me explain. I am not all that smart; I stand on the shoulders of giants. The basis of what I say is not handed down by some god, but is based on reading and coming to a growing understanding of many very smart people who for over 3000 years looked at the human condition and came up with answers that have real effect in life. My faith is not blind, I believe that these people got it right and my belief now is the only thing that has worked in my life, and I used to be a Christian (which doesn't’t work for me).
Nothingness...
I have some ideas about nothingness, I can pm you with them if you would like to share thoughts on the matter, I will not put them on the forum.
Yea, that would be cool. I also have some thoughts on nothing. I'd quite like to here your thoughts.
You think you can tell me a bit about you budhisme? I think my own belief is adjacent in a lot of aspects. I'm root Rastafaian.
