You have put up a really thought provoking question in a brief paragraph. I somehow feel like I have asked this question myself while back and the only answer I could get, of course from myslef, is that it is not really possible to act on the belief of karma and rebirth. You see, karma and rebirth concepts eventually motivates us to include compassion in our life. Now that's a really hard task if anybody is to practice compassion during every single moment of his life, especially in this modern, competitive and selfish society. I actually think that kind of person wouldn't even survive this world; but then I realized that I m actually wrong to say that. His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa are truly the living examples eight in front of our eyes. Now for the people like us, who to a limited extentd understand do understand and follow upon the karma and rebirth are bit better off than those who don't believe at all. Wouldn't you agree we are more compassionate, although we are only sometimes and on selective occasions? Excellent thought Melanie!
