I quote from somewhere that ,
"Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward, karma simply deals with what is."
If i were to have a Karma Mirror now , one that can reflect all my past doings and future ones.. I would be one very confused person if not boring.Surely I would want to do all good deeds and stay away from bad karma...and yet destiny and fate wont allow that to happen. I then, wont be the person that I am now, wont experience the stuff i have had experienced nor dare to try something new and have faith in life!
case in point:
work and personal life has been really testing for the pass week. and I try to reason with myself that this is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward...its just IS. its just part of what i choose to do with my life and i have to be responsible for my own choices - good or bad. And yet i cant help but to feel awful knowing that there are others who are effected by my karma! the ones i love and the ones who love me. the ones who were never meant to get hurt nor benefit from my choices.
whats worst is, i am effected by the choices that others do...i should not be the one to bear the burden just because you made bad choices in life...and yet i am burdened or benefiting from it (depending on which end of the karma am i).
its strange how we all fit in this universe..... we have our purpose in life and its up to us how we want to find that out. I think its mention in one of the surah in the Quran.

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Master of the Day of Judgment
Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek
Show us the straight way
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
