As a human, my experiences of life have led me to believe that Karma is real, fortunately or unfortunately. It is part of becoming aware.
Awareness brings consciousness to consumption, of what energies give life.
We should honor art that dares to speak to our heart and soul, art that truly moves us. It is not necessarily positive, but it has the passion and power to move one beyond apathy. It may challenge the ego to the point of resistance. I can't connect Karma with Awareness. They are two separate things for me.
