Karma?......One of my favorite neighbords just put too many bicycles almost in front of my door......so I pushed one (in a bad mood..........., me, not the bicycle) and the bicycle dropped...........and dropped the other ones (ji....ji...ji........), I left them like this.......and then my husband told me what a bad girl I were......and then...........ok...........I tried to put back the bicycles as before............and one of them dropped again and hurt me!!!!!!!........ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! action and reaction......? 
 
Seriously, I would look for the "noble octuple sendero"  (eight noble path?) and common sense again. I would say that if you are looking to get ride of all the bad karma........uf! that has to be a job! When people used to tell me that to smoke was a  big contradiction in my life (I didn't understand this opinion anyways) I used to answer: This is the smallest of my contradictions, so I will pay attention to that later.......I choose to try to be consequent with a way of life, respecting life (and sometimes others opinions) and trying to not hurt others when self-defending.......hoping that someday if I have been succsessfully enough , contradictions will desappear.
 
Cheers,
 
Catalina
