2. I suppose I prefer The Golden Rule...

Karma and spirituality and ethics and morals...those discussions sometimes make my head explode, to be honest, because it's human nature to try to twist things to our advantage and excuse selfish or greedy behavior (which, imho, stems from fear).

The Golden Rule is much more straightforward and simple for me. I need simplicity.

If she returned it because that's what she would hope another would do if the situation were reversed, that's cool. I always say that I believe in karma, but your explanation (which makes sense, btw!) reinforces my devotion to The Golden Rule.
