Your point is well taken.

The whole issue of Karma has to be quite a complex thing if one considers
the constant action that goes on which interacts with other living beings
and the actions of all other humans and these taken over a period of time
results in a level of complexity that may lead one to the conclusion that
there should be utter confusion. On the other hand, utter justice demands
all actions should result in just results for everyone. May be only when we
are in a much much higher dimension that Karma will be understood as a law
as simple as gravity.
