We build more karma by not doing things we should have done

Torkom Saraydarian on karma and action:

"Karma is translated as action, and every time we speak about karma we speak about action.... But this is not the whole story. The neglected part of the story is that our karma is formed also by our inaction, negligence, denial, carelessness, inattentiveness, omission, or even stupidity. ...karma is created also by what you do not do. We build more karma by not doing things we should have done than by doing things we should not have done."
