The law of karma does not compensate a negative ment, or the resulting act, with a negative ment, or resulting act. In other words, a negative ment, or the resultant negative act, is not weighed against a positive ment, or resulting act. As an example let us take the case of someone who kills another in order to save the life of yet another. Does the act of saving a life equalise the act taking a life and, therefore negate karma? The answer is that it does not, and the reason for this is that the law, to be beneficial to us, has to provide us with the exact experience we created for another to experience so that we can learn from it. Hence, in this example, whilst getting the karmic benefit of saving a life we get the karmic benefit, unpleasant as it may be, of learning how it is to be killed in the manner we killed.
