Subject: Chapt. 51 I don't think karma is simple and straightforward, as in if you do X, then Y (whether it's good or bad karma). For those who believe in karma it's more to do with their next life, rather than instant retribution in this one. Whether you believe in an afterlife or reincarnation or "instant karma" as John Lennon called it, I do think there is something to the idea -- if you are an immoral, evil person it will come back to you in the end. I just don't think people are punished (or rewarded) in the way they think they are, or should be or in the ways others think they should be.

  • Chapt. 52 Q. 1) For me it was a physical manifestation of the psychological difference that had started with Pamela's involvement with Love and continued to grow wider with Casey's incarceration. Q2) I think Casey did it hoping to scare Pamela away, if it was my husband I would have been more determined than ever to come and see him. I do think he felt it was the only way he could really get Pamela to understand just how brutal it was on the ship. 3) Her visit reminded him of his inability to help Pamela in any way and Casey is not a man who suffers an inability to act or take care of those he loves lightly.

  • ooohhh, I never thought of that - the '12 feet' representing not only their physical distance but emotional as well, good one Carla :-) (NT) -- Marilyn, 12:10:03 10/03/07 Wed
  • Carla, That's exactly how I saw it. The twelve feet stood for so much of the hurt, secrets, loss and separation. (NT) -- Lil, 22:00:23 10/03/07 Wed
