My interpretation of a mathematical theory of karma:
Plenty of people get good things that they don’t deserve.
Behind every great fortune is a great crime.
—Honore de BalzacNo one can earn a million dollars honestly.
—William Jennings Bryant
I am wary of attributing “hard work” and “dedication” to people who are successful. In fact, I think the louder someone touts their virtues, the less likely they actually deserved what they got.
While the universe clearly doesn’t operate this way, I feel like people who have been arbitrarily disadvantaged for whatever reason deserve at least some kind of compensatory advantage.
I just have a thing for the underdog, I guess.
