I tend to believe that all the misery and suffering I'm experiencing now is the consequences of my own actions in this life, but I don't believe in karma, broadly, nor would I apply that to the vast majority of people.

@SW-User Historically, when I've been mistreated at the hands of others, the conditions that allowed that to happen were usually created by my own idiocy. So like, if I had to speculate I'd say probably still my fault, but that's not exactly a matter of principle if you get what I'm saying.

@SW-User karma is a constant push and pull of life, if it wasn't there then life won't happen🤔
I have wondered about the idea before. But I can't see the victims of much of the abuse in the world having been soooo bad in a past life as to warrant that abuse in this life. If that is true then the past was truly evil😖

@SW-User I have only read pieces of his stuff. But he had great insight even if his stuff is hard to read sometimes. I just hope that one day anger/hate will be gone from humanity. Justice can still be achieved through love and reason imo. One can love their enemies to the point that they become a friend. Can show compassion until the other side understands. When we are one mind and one heart we can become more than the sum of our parts and truly find immorality.

@canusernamebemyusername I dont think its easy ,I thinks it very hard to controlgreed ,lust ,anger ,jealousy ...aleast for me .
@SW-User I know. I have fought fear all my life and require medication for it. Because my body/brain doesn't habituate like normal people. But that is where I have to use logic to try everything and go with what works best. And meditation has helped me control anger. It took a while cause my brain kept wanting to be angry but I beat it down cause anger just felt like poison to me.

@Wiseacre so everything we are is just random, we are just floating in space with no significant purpose...*screams*😱😱

no, not at all. it has to do with how well a person can live with and be ignorant of how much of an horrible person they are. That combined with a bunch of other unknowns and randomness. Just look at the richest people on the planet. Most of them have money and power by riding off the backs of the rest of us. They may or may not be happy with all that money and power but that's another story.

life is suffering in general, I don't believe everything that happens to you is your bad karma, some people use you to create bad karma for themselves. How people treat you is their karma, how you react is yours.
Yeah I do. Past as well as present.
