The laws of karma and reincarnation are man made and wretched.
If you travel to places in the world where people truly believe, you will find the true nature of it and how it holds people in it's grip.
Take for example a person that has caused much destruction - Hitler, for example, as his name always comes up. Karma and reincarnation teaches that upon his death, the bad karma he accumulated goes on into another life but the recipient has no idea of the weight they are carrying. Hitler's soul could be reincarnated into another person, animal or insect. There are some people that wear mouth and nose coverings to avoid breathing someone in. (I'm not joking.)
In countries where karma rules the day and homeless children roam the street, other citizens do nothing to help them. Not because they are cruel but because the child has accumulated bad karma and they believe the sooner the child dies he can begin again. I saw a news article a few years back about a heartbroken mother that had lost her 13 year son to an early death. Just after the funeral, an iguana walked into her home. The photo showed her with tears rolling down her face as she held it - because she was convinced it was her son reincarnated.
I strongly suggest the book by Ravi Zacharais called "Jesus Among Other Gods". He was raised in India and has a clear understanding of these things - and he takes strong offense to the tripe dished out by Deepak Chopra.

Karma is man made as you said.
Karma is just like astrology, man made fallacies devised to explain human failings.
Karma - poor child = sort of Hitler in his previous life = I dont need to care about social responsibility
Astrology - I failed my exams = it was my fate, decided by celestial bodies made up of inanimate matter, arbitrarily named by other humans
I believe in neither. Especially reincarnations.
Once I was watching a TV programme shot in Africa. There's a teenage boy who gets lost and dies. He gets buried by the family. Months later, he walks back in the village suffering from amnesia. Nobody know what happened to him. The villagers start calling him a zombie. He acts very weird and looks creepy.
Dunno if that was a montage but the documentary sounded genuine.
I think, all well-known religions are good. They are also have the same goal namely to teach and lead people mind to the goodness, and philosophy is useful to enrich the good insight.
Very interesting blog.. We all I suppose have our cultural background and beliefs which reflect the way we live our lifes
This is unbelievable really, I did not knew some people wear masks or coverings on their mouth in order to avoid breathing someone. I realise that karma or the belief in it affect people's life that much. Thank you for sharing this.
karma is like what we do in this time will be happen in the next time,,
