Karma

A moral dilemma occurs when there are two or more options that could be considered "the right choice."  The classic example used in many of the ethics classes I have taken is:

If you were poor and your family was starving, would you steal bread from a rich man?


I can go into the different ethical theories in another post but basically it could be argued that stealing would be okay in this instance while others would say that stealing is wrong regardless of the circumstances.


Today I was faced with a moral dilemma and had a rare experience of getting instant karmic return.  What goes around comes around!  While we shouldn't do the right thing in expectation of a return, it sure was nice!  I guess I just wanted to post this to make someone think.  Pass on kindness and it will be returned, do the right thing and it will be returned ten fold!
