Karma

I am not an authority on karma and am willing to learn about it from you.  just watched Bar Karma on TV and thought that Karma might relate to the following:
Suffering is at my option. I am free to act promptly on pain. I choose to be here to learn, not suffer. I can observe my actions and that which follows from them. I can analyze an act of mine, its cause, and its effect. My karma helps me to learn and grow.


I didn't say that it was easy.


Am I mistaken in my use of 'karma?'
