Karma, etc


Karma:
the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect

Also known as 'what goes around, comes around'.

I'm not a snake-lover, neither am I a snake-abuser and I do not go out of my way to harm harmless ones when I see them.

I sincerely hope this person won't do this again:

Authorities say a northeast Texas woman recently learned a hard lesson: Don't try to kill a snake by setting it on fire.

The woman was cleaning the yard outside a home near Texarkana Wednesday night when she spotted a snake. Bowie County Sheriff's Capt. David Grable says she poured gasoline on the snake to try to kill it. Her son then dropped a lit match on the snake.

The engulfed snake slithered into some brush nearby the home. Grable says the brush ignited and started a fire that destroyed the home and damaged one next door.

Both homes were vacant, and no one was injured.
Grable says most snakes are harmless if left alone.
