The mathematics of Karma
Karma technicalities are simple, value-systems are Veeeery complicated... I'll have to do more drawings..
Anyways; Take a 3D cross, with the following quadrants:
- Top-right quadrant is Positive Action
- Bottom-right quadrant is Negative Action
- Bottom-Left quadrant is Negative Communication
- Top-Left quadrant is Positive Communication
- The vertical axis runs from -100 to +100 %
On this vertical axis, each side, you place your 'values'. I will be making mine shortly, but not today ;)
- The horizontal axis runs from -10 000 to +10 000 affected souls.
I propose we measure Karma for humans per Week or per Month. NOT PER DAY. ;-)
Examples:
-
I run a newspaper (editor job) that is _really_ truthfull and gets read by 1000 people, but this week i killed someone's dog in a carcrash.
I had the cash but not the guts/time to replace the dog, or even to talk to the owners (a family of 4ppl) of the dog.
The 2 kids who loved the dog count double, so _karmatically_, 6 souls were affected.
This gives me a Karma of
- Newspaper editor: Action50 * 1000 = 50000
- Killing Dog: Action -50 * 6 = -300
- Balance : 49700+
As you can see, this is just the beginning of this form of accountancy... I need to do more research...
