Just to clarify... Like Torba I go out of my way to be nice to people and have a positive attitude... and many people I work with are confounded/confused by it
(maybe it is a Miata driver thing)
I may be totally off base (yet again) and I have only read a few books on eastern mysticism
('Zen and the art of motorcycle maintained' counts right?)... but I
think the concept of Karma is to do good just for the sake of doing good... to do good for gain (to build up good Karma) would negate any positive Karma because you are doing good with ulterior motives.
I need to stop typing now because my head is starting to hurt.
