"Karma is a deeply traditional and complex religious concept that has morphed into a flippant pop culture buzzword. The word karma is a Sanskrit term that means deed or action. Basically, karma means that actions have consequences. Good deeds will be rewarded and bad behavior will be punished. "In many Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, karma is fundamentally tied to reincarnation. The circumstances of every living creature in this life are a direct result of their actions in the last one. Things they do now will reverberate into the next life, and the next, in an endless cycle.
"In popular culture, karma is neither inevitable nor eternally binding. People say 'What goes around, comes around' to encourage niceness or in hope that someone who did them wrong will pay for it someday. It’s more of a comforting cliché than an inescapable cosmic contract."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
