Default Re: Do you believe in Karma?

Haven't read this full thread as I am quickly jotting this down over lunch (5 minutes before I have to drive back to work).

Sorry to complicate this for you, but;

Prostate cancer is typically a slow growing cancer that frequently metastasizes to the brain and skeleton by the time it is found, let alone "terminal". So, this fellow could very well have had the cancer by then (most likely) and probably had mets to skeleton and brain.

This would have made him not a terribly good candidate for being a safe driver. Further, it could potentially make his skeleton (especially spine) very brittle where-ever the mets were that they could have snapped under incredibly little load (even slipping on a stair, not even falling, could cause a vertebra to crush). Thus, very little trauma could lead to incredibly significant injury.

So, this might be a case of mis-identifying cause and effect and thus obliterating the concept of karma in this case.

Sorry for throwing this out there. I do feel empathy for your plight.

Cheers
