Karma can be good. Karma can be bad. To me it is simple cause and effect.
But that still doesn't tell me what your sentence means.
But never mind.
(BTW...did it ever occur to you that I don't like engaging with you? I just thought you were here for discussion. My mistake).
lol ... you don't engage in anything that doesn't get you want you want. Like playing the whole tape. lmaO, that way you can run around chirping about enlightenment. Is is so easy to be enlightened when we pick and choose what we want to "engage". Religion-ist type people do it all the time. And rational people don't have to pick between two religion-ist type people when they both are less reliable.
How can we tell who is who? What process can we use?
lmao .... ahh right ... don't engage in that either ...

There are many paths and all paths that achieve relief from suffering is good. Faith is one way and knowledge is another. No judgements necessary. What appeals to one is karma.
Aight.
Actually, what appeals to one is dhamma, not karma. A path chosen.
And indeed, All roads lead to Rome.
All dhammas lead to the same result.

I may be misunderstanding you, but I don't think that all Dhammas lead to the same result. Some break the cycle and achieve nibanna. Others are left to repeat the cycle of life over and over and over.

Whatever it is that appeals to you is so because of your karma, which is the sum of your tendencies, capabilities, leanings and desires, results of your actions good and bad, in this birth and previous births. That shapes not only your earthy life, it also shapes your spiritual life. You cannot choose your karma, it chooses you in effect. To get rid of karma, at least mitigate its effects, requires mindfulness, right actions, and prayers if you believe.
Go to the light Ukrkoz, go to the light!

Or perhaps you mean something different.
How can we tell? How can one release self justification and answer "what am I doing?"

Brilliant post. I think what's really remarkable is that something exists rather than nothing. Existence itself is something really amazing and baffling to me. I think that the meaning and purpose of life is to just be, to just exist. I had a moment of clarity about it in my mind.
