In science they say that for every action there is always and opposite equal reaction. To some they say its karma, to others they say cause and effect. Do you think that they are all the same and only the names differ due to language or belief?

Even in the Bible, it says there that you reap what you sow. I guess culture, beliefs and science are all important factors when it comes to this.

I see, I think there is a similarity in these things. It is certainly something that we should ponder upon.

They're not the same. Karma refers to the embodiment of good luck and bad luck where as cause and effect in science refer to transfer of energy from one object to the next :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Yes, I think you got a point there. Somehow, your explanation is very rational indeed. Thanks for the enlightenment.

For me all this is the same .. but the defination is related to differnt subjects : not the same subject matters .. don forget to add the chinese .. "YIN & YANG" this is also similar for it is describing the opposites .. GOOD / BAD , ANGLE / DEVIL, WATER/FIRE , IN / OUT ... this is why they have the "FENG SHUI" ... when something bad is going to happen they will put another material that is the opposit at the certain place to avoid the bad ... i am just giving a short description .. Karma says .. for every good you do you will be rewarded , for every bad you do you will be punished ... that is why human being goes to phases of rebirt according to their karma Newtons law says .. for every action there is an equal reaction, when a rocket needs to fly against the gravity pull, it has to have a power which is above the gravity to ensure the rocket can move forward ... when you row the boat .. you push your paddle back to move forward well .. that is only the things my little brain understand cheers

Yes, you are right there and you certainly have a point. I have heard about the Yin and Yang also. I think its basically the same principle and the only difference is the name. Maybe perhaps that is a common law in the universe, and everything we do, there is always balance. Thanks for pointing out those things. Best to you!
