| Sisyphus, proletarian of the gods, powerless and rebellious, knows the whole extent of his wretched condition: it is what he thinks of during his descent. The lucidity that was to constitute his torture at the same time crowns his victory. There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |

| If the evolution of the human species is entirely a matter of the environment and the modification of genes, chromosomes, and so forth, then there really isn't place for karma at all. It simply wouldn't fit because all the effects would presumably be entirely accounted for by their physical constituents. However, cells evolve to become more and more complex and then later evolve into human beings. There are many options, some seventy trillion, that one human could become, based on the assortment of the parental genes. Yet just one option is taken, and if the question is asked - why? - then karma is directly related to this question. |

| "How did you get there, Roo?" asked Piglet. "On Tigger's back! And Tiggers can't climb downwards, because their tails get in the way, only upwards, and Tigger forgot about that when we started, and he's only just remembered. So we've got to stay here for ever and ever --- unless we go higher. What did you say Tigger? Oh, Tigger says if we go higher we shan't be able to see Piglet's house so well, so we're going to stop here." |
