Everything is predetermined and happens as it should.
Everything that happens is for good, no matter what the appearance may be.
A very positive outlook on life!!
I believe that coincidences are definitely very real...even events that are "predetermined and happen as it should" can be very coincidental to another.
Karma is (to me) a word to describe how we feel when someone gets what's coming to them...or they deserve.
The universe is random and chaotic. Order occurs from an infinite number of random acts. There is no right or wrong when it comes to nature. The universe does not care if you cut someone off in traffic and flipped them the bird.
I've very fond of Buddhism and I think Siddhartha was a genius. But I think they got the karma part wrong, as far as I understand karma, cause and effect. Cause and effect is true in the physical world, but not as far as right and wrong, which who is to say what is right or wrong in the first place.
What if you murdered Hitler when he was 10 years old? You would have likely been arrested. And I thought it was wrong to murder.
I know it’s tied to reincarnation somehow but that’s not relevant to me at this stage in my life. I work very hard at karma; it’s not easy & when it comes full circle it’s humbling.
I know you’re a follower of Buddhism, but how does one ‘work very hard at karma’? From my perspective, it’s as if one is buying their way into a more positive ‘destiny’ which is, in and of itself, a bit ironic.
Why has no-one pointed out that 'good' and 'evil' is a judgement made by the society in which we live. Other societies do not have the same notion of 'good' and 'evil'. If there are universal laws which are in force, then it is virtually certain that the Universe will not see the same thing as we do. Its judgement of 'good' and 'evil' will be outside belief systems.
It really depends on your view of life and whether you believe we are eternal spirits using a human body to experience class in Earth School or not
What we term as a bad deed may have been perpetrated by someone to allow the experience for many souls. Is this a bad thing? Not for those souls who wanted to experience that, 9/11 is an example or nazi concentration camps.
As a bad example, if your spirit wanted to experience death through being shot, then does the spirit in human body who shot you do you a favor ?
