The Fine Line Between Pride and Self-Respect

If Everything Is Karma, Why Do We Still Punish?
This Q&A explains why punishment and justice exist even when the law of karma governs all actions. Those who do wrong often lack awareness of karma, so human systems of correction — counsel, control, punishment, and strategy — help them awaken. The discussion also explores how acceptance of one’s mistakes depends on whether the mind is in a lower (egoic) or higher (aware) state.
