Hell may not get you, but karma sure will

This reminded me of that new Jojo Siwa song

[Greengoop]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo don’t you dare sing it

Depends what you see as karma. So many awful people are able to get away with being the way they are until the day they die, and are happy doing so. Maybe their karma is that the mark they leave on history will be hated by others.

Maybe the fact they don't get served justice in their lifetime seems unfair, but really, why do we care what they think? No one likes them already, and them realising that fact doesn't change our lives. It does give them room for a redemption arc though. We should just do the best we can in an honest way, because cheating at others' expense is lame and defeats the beauty of life.

To be honest, me knowing that when I die billions of people around the world remember me with hatred is a punishment on its own

I've never thought about that before, interesting to think about...

[Greengoop]

Do you personally think it would put you off. Personally I think it’d be a disgrace to my family and friends and entire community

Definately, even if no one else knew, I would live with the guilt forever.

[Greengoop]

Yeah, if I died I wouldn’t feel anything but I’d be sad in my last days and I’d know what legacy I created. If I lived I couldn’t bear the guilt it’d cause me

I'd like to live knowing I had a positive influence on those I care for, not for my sake but for theirs, so of course it would

[Greengoop]

Yeah, it really depends on what kind of mark you leave

If free will doesn't exist and people are the products of their arbitrary passage through time and space according to the laws of physics, then is moral responsibility real and is justice a good thing at all? I think no

[Greengoop]

Yeah, and it’s unfair to send people to hell in this case

[lyndo64]

True, that is kinda deep, or I'm just tired.

The question of free will gets people knotted up in such a silly place. It seems to be us just experiencing the thoughts and emotions that lead us down a certain path, a lot of people have trouble reconciling the idea that feelings can be predetermined too and instead take it as their feelings being invalidated

[Greengoop]

Also it is pretty obvious that people have free will. I’m pretty sure they don’t believe in it in orthodox regions

what do you believe free will to be?

[Greengoop]

Being able to control your own decisions

[lyndo64]

Being able to control your own decisions

Yea that sounds like free will to me.

[Adsolution]

Being able to control your own decisions

What does it mean to control them though? And how do you know you're controlling them?
