Selfless action is what moves you to the front of the karmic line, and when your there you can't know it, or you are transported to the rear.
So if your expecting good karma for yourself, ie you bought honey, you aint gonna get it....
wow... damn, now I finally understand the real meaning of the story about the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden.... it wasn't about "oh shit I'm naked and ashamed!" it's more like "hey I can think for myself now, oh shit I see I have tons of problems now too!"

If ignorance is bliss, then all events are relatively meaningless and unextraordinary.
The opposite means that we go nuts trying to decipher the inner workings of why good and bad things happen. It's maddening to understand karma.
