Karma is a life force to begin with, there really is no right nor wrong. However,if one chooses to continue on a distructive path, it will always be a distructive path. If one for example trys to change old habits, say for an example, "you decided to become a born again christain,and do what the Bible says, then things start go hay wire and difficult for you, because you changed the style of your enviroment or life style, that is only because you have seen a major change transform before your eyes! It is not the "devil" temping you to go back to your old habits,It is the life force you have brought to correct some things in your life that need tended to. This is why you see such a great change, cause it is different. Your in new situations now, and unsure how your going to deal with it, because this is the first time, you have experienced any thing major, that you can see, and feel. Some do not completely convert to being "born again".It is mearly going back into a comfort zone you were comfortable in, cause you did not want to work hard to reach another level, of growing spiritually. These are my thoughts on karma, and from experiences through out my life, I have wittnessed much change in my life style, along with my way of thinking. This article does not express any indivisual but mine. However, here are other examples to give you more of a clearer look out on what karma really is. This conversation on Karma, came up between a very good Freind of mine, and all should be opened minded to others theroies, that's how we all learn, then pick apart the logical,and non logical.
There is good and bad karma. Karma is about earthly desires and attachments and how we treat and think about one another and our environments. It is as much about what we fail to do as it is what we do. Sometimes it is not the what that we do but the how and why that creates karma.

Divorce�People meet and fall madly in love. Our karma brings us together. We come together in order to learn, to teach each other, to repair past damages, to learn about give and take, to learn about compassion. Usually after a few years of marriage, the karma kicks in. The old emotions, behaviors, feelings, tendencies and patterns kick in. Now becomes the challenge.
The ways we begin to relate, interact, respond to each other are the guiding lights on what we are there to work on. Marriage is a schoolhouse where we go to learn our lessons in the closest of all forms. We partner up with people who will best help us work out our problems, our tendencies. The rub, the conflict, the pressure is to present to us the opportunity to look at ourselves, study ourselves and try to see what we are doing, our part in the conflict. Self-analysis is the answer, the path to a cure.
Since marriage is the closest of all relationships, it entails a great deal of teaching and learning. Marriage is not the way we tend to think of it on Earth. Marriage is a meeting of souls coming together to meet karma, work out past ways of relating. Sometimes it is a coming together as a mutual support system to help each other work out other karma in other ways and they need each other�s help. Marriage is not necessarily a forever thing. When we come together in marriage it is a meeting of ourselves face to face to learn to recognize our behavior and tendencies and ways of relating.
We tend to think in terms of divorce as failure and it is not necessarily true. If it is not working, if it is no longer meeting the needs of why we came together in the first place, then marriage is not serving us.
There are many factors involved in deciding upon a divorce. What is being said here is that divorce is not a sin and that the original Divine intent was to come together to learn. Again, it is not necessarily meant to be a forever thing. However, we can choose to make it a forever thing. It all depends on the individuals.
Divorce by itself does not create karma. The cause of the divorce can. If we were cruel to our partner, embarrassed our partner, abused our partner, hated our partner, and left in anger and bitterness there is karma to one or both of the partners and they may come together again in another lifetime to resolve both the old karma as well as the new. If there are children and grandparents involved in the divorce there may be karma if their love is not fairly incorporated into the lives of all involved. Punishing a loving grandparent is not being fair. Protecting a child from an abusive or negative or evil environment is however important to do. Not contributing to the material and spiritual welfare of our offspring after divorce may create negative karma. Religious differences are not an excuse. We should teach our children to be spiritual and to live right and this should work well with any religion.
