When you hit yourself in the eye,
And it occurs through time,
That's a Karma!

This post is a response to the request to clarify a statement I had made -- that the concept of karma isn't the same in Hinduism and Buddhism. I also was giving an example of how metaphors used within some belief systems are meant to be taken in an esoteric sense (in other words, a psychological sense) and not within the frame of the literal supernatural. With that said, enjoy.
First, I found this definition which is a good sketch of karma in both Hinduism and Buddhism:
"the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences"
