By basic notion regarding any system of points or rewards, visible or invisible, or recorded only by the hand of God in some celestial ledger, is this: Karma is not a vending machine. You don't put compassion in hoping to get compassion out. You just spread compassion around in order to make a more compassionate world. Sometimes you benefit, sometimes not. But there is no bank, no bookkeeping, no system, no bureaucracy, no leader, no followers.
