I was listening to a lecture on Buddhism and the teacher gave a small sample of Karma. He said if you lie to get money it is not cause and effect because it is not repeatable. If every time you lied you got money it would be cause and effect. He said it is Karma, you got the money as repayment for a prior good deed and something such as being labeled a liar will be the resulting bad karma for lying.

If good karma can be built up, then, why not bad karma?

now do we see the lions beat their cubs like humans do

No, we just witness the new leader of a pride killing all cubs not his own. Should human stepfathers adopt this tenet of lion 'ethics'? :rolleyes:

This is also a matter of survival. At least in the eyes of the proud lion.;)

the ethics of survival are far better suited to a better world than the lack of ethics entirely we see in our world today creating unnecessary negativity.
