I dont expect to able to bring proof to anything. I was merely saying my own personal belief, based on my own experience. I dont think it would be possible to prove something like this. I never said fight for peace, so im not sure why you brought that up, it seems like a contradiction to me. I didnt actually mean that all people with money were bad, all i meant to say is that selfishness and related emotions can lead to material gain, but also to being basically unhappy. As to the belief thing, it an interesting question, I have beliefs, but i also like to leave them kind of open so that they can change as i learn more.

As to concepts of good and bad. Alot of the time they are just perceptions. My perception is that there are things which are good for humans and things which are bad. One of the problems to my eyes is that people aren’t sure what is good for them. Like people who are filled with hate and think that killing and revenge would be good or fun. I personally think that this is bad for them, because hate is painful, it is consuming and tiring. Where as peace leads to good things for everyone, because it is relaxing and happy.

What do you think?
Your mood status would seem to indicate you believe in love.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I don't believe anything, but I have many suspicions.
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.

My understanding from Karma seems to differ from what has been posted so far, though I don't know if this is in fact actually what karma is, maybe I am wrong, but here goes:
Like others have said karma is simple cause and effect. Where my understanding differs is that people generally seem to think this means if you do something bad, something bad will happen to you in return. What I thought karma was is simply if you do something bad, something bad will happen (not necessarily to you). For instance if you are a bad parent and raise your child horribly, they will grow up with many problems, cause and effect. The bad result (effect) does not have to happen to you, it simply has to happen. This applies for 'good' and 'bad' w/e you deem those be.

Very true, we cause all of our own anguish by letter others affect us when they should not.
