Define Karma.

[Stookie_]

lil Oscar u dont have to keep doing all of that because its not really from the haert, see Karma is always working she doesnt stop matter of fact she has others who help her out, because they are always moving the wheels and setting up the next steps, when you do something bad or good it is put out there in the universe and someone notices it regardless it be Karma or your Dad, then because time doesnt stop things will start to change and the Karma you have inside yourself will determine if good or bad things happen to you, if you can use the situations that are given to you in the right way then you will have the best outcome period. She gives you what you Need not what you Want

I agree, this is very true, but I don't associate it with karma. I would just call it "living right". I love Taoism because of it's simplicity... there's nothing really to do - if you can get past your own ego and find "tao", then you flow easily through the world. Action through non-action. You're in compliance with the will of the universe/higher-self/god and can't lose, even when things are perceptibly "bad".

living right is correct.

there is a mono rule in living or at least human DNA to follow certain guidelines and principles, basically what bedeekin brought up
The GOLDEN Rule
really simple and ironically complex

as for the little ones i always think its best to associated different entities and morals with incarnated figures to put a suspense on the lesson thus causing an easy accessible reference point in a developing or child's mind, so that it is easier to remember at judgmental moments
(its just quicker)
