Cause & Effect . . .
Maybe Earl Hickey isn't right after all. Maybe the secret to life isn't about karma at all . . .
The meaning of karma in its simplest forms, they say, is "cause-and-effect." If you want to read more, check out Karma.
In Earl's world, he is saying that all of the bad things that happen to him are because of the bad things he has done in the past. So, to rectify the situation, he has made a list and is 'going-back,' if you will, to 'right-the-wrongs' he caused to bring a harmony to his existence. In theory, Earl is following the Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, & Jainism teachings of karma.
Should I climb to the top of some mountain in search of some Yodi-like, ancient little man to ask him what horrible thing I surely must have done to be faced with such a situation that I find myself in at the moment? If there is a 'cause-and-effect' conversion table, I can't imagine what would be in the cause column to rank up there to equal this effect.
