Turning her attention back to the Professor, the Slytherin slumped in her seat and listened to the review. Good Merlin, they learned all that? She was too tired to remember half of those! A good nights rest was in order for tonight. Or just an extremely long nap after this lesson. That seemed fine to her too.
However, she had to keep away. Especially when a question was being asked. And...great. A topic that she was already fuzzy and non-understandable in her mind. But well, she raised her hand anyway. "Karma is the actions or events that take place in the future of the persons life as a result from that person's past actions..." Erm...right? Fuzzy...ness. Quote:

Sierra glanced up with a rather unamused expression. She meant absolutely nothing toward the professor, but final exams pretty much had her feeling dead as a dodo, and she had zero spunk left for classes.
Nevertheless, she raised her hand. If she showed up for class, she may as well try and earn some house points. Or, you know--learn something, too. "Karma pretty much means a person is going to get what they deserve," she summarized. Quote:

Hm, what was karma? Easy enough question, so she raised a hand. "It's basically defined as 'what goes around comes around,' meaning that if you do something mean to someone, at some point later in your life another person will do that to you too. And if you do something nice for someone, another person will do the same for you too." Basically yes, everyone was correct, who spoke up. Which wasn't many? HMM... HAD they fallen asleep?! Because Fina was sure that more people had entered the classroom than just four. "Precisely right. Karma relates to the concepts of actions or deeds which causes ultimately the cycle of cause and effect. The idea of this concept originated in ancient India." Not something they needed to know, but it was always nice to have a little back history. Quote:

Raising her hand, she answered Professor Hadleys question.
"Karma is the belief that what you put out into the world is what you'll recieve back. So... if you do good things, then good things will happen to you. But if you do bad things, then bad things will happen to you."
Yup....... Karma, the vengeful elephant. "Yes, ultimately that is the beliefs set forth by karma, in its most simplest way of saying it. Thank you, Miss Browne," Professor Hadley nodded at the seventh year.
Moving on to explaining more about karma; "As mentioned, karma is not merely punishment or retribution, but more extended consequence of natural acts. It literally translates to deed or act and broadly defines the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction. These effects are able to be moderated by actions and is not necessarily fate. Ultimately, a particular action now does ultimately lead to some pre-existing future reaction or experience." Fina paused, allowing them to finish up their notes on that part before moving on. "Again, I repeat, karma is NOT fate, as we act with free will and despite what our numbers MAY tell us and guide us, we do still create our own destiny. But ultimately, what karma does try to offer us is that if one sows goodness, one will reap goodness."
"There are two important types to consider when talking about karma. Can anyone explain to me the difference between Karmic Lessons and Karmic Debts? What numbers are required of you in order to figure these out?"
