I don't know, maybe sometimes, maybe on other times not. The tricky thing is that maybe we do not adequately imagine how incredibly complex the balance-finding by "karma-mechaniscs" can be. Because we cannot look far ahead into the future and not deep enough into things as if we could really say the "nothing" you referred to when saying "about nothing", really just is nothing - or if it may unfold a conseqeunce in the future, for better or worse, that our thinking mind cannot even imagine. That'S why it is good advise to always act carefully and with a calm mind and never to deicde in a state of emotional arousal - it makes it easier to not go wrong.

Longer time ago, many years, when I was still full of the typical idealism of an early twenty-years old, I used to check out several buddhist schools beside my own training I got and had gotten. From the starry-eyed people in the audience of lets same some Lama I sometimes, not rarely, heared things like that if you step onto that worm on the ground, you probably will get born yourself as a worm in your next life - stuff like that. Such simplicism simply makes me shaking my head.
