I intend to do this very bad thing. How much karma do I need to accrue in advance, so that I don't go into the red from doing it?

I guess my point is you will always be bad as a result of doing this very bad thing, no amount of karma can counter it.

You can't just "do good" like it's a spreadsheet, managing your karmic balance as the parent comment joked. You're only worrying about your personal consequences in that model, not the harm to others.

But I think it should be possible for a human to reflect on their actions, find remorse, and strive to do better in the future. They will always have done a bad thing, but they might not always be a bad person.
