SLAVERY
You are a slave to your habits.
It does not have to be that way.
But first you have to notice.

Hmm… I don’t know how to communicate with the outside world most of the time. Does that mean my silence will take a revenge on me? Does that mean karma will have an unfortunate outcome?

I believe that the popular notion of karma as a kind of cosmic punishment/reward justice system is wide of the mark. I believe that it is all about habit. How we perceive things conditions the way we think and act. Conversely how we think, what we say and act affects what happens and reinforces – or alters – our way of perceiving things. In this instance your silence, alongside your non-verbal signals (conscious or unconscious) will have an effect on those around you. Whether that is unfortunate is once again dependent on your way of perceiving it. Thus you are acting out of your past habits (karmas) to produce your present and the ways you react to that present are the seeds of future karmas. Does that make sense to you? Does it answer your questions?
