Karma doesn't exist. Even if the positive or negative outlook, or nurture, gets you so far, it should not be overlooked that the existing nature or make up of an individual plays a far greater role in influencing circumstance. We don't like to admit that we only have so little power in our existence; and that due to both nature and nurture (life experience) puts us all in unequal footing. We are not equal; even though we should strive for equality in our states of inequality.
