I can’t believe people who go through horrific things in this life were bad people in past lives who are getting their due.
I think if karma is factual it’s more complicated than that. I think there is randomness in the equation.
For example, a while back in the news it was reported a woman in New York was walking through a park and a large tree branch fell on her and killed her.
I see that as randomness and not some karmic payback.
Personally, I don’t like the idea of karma. I don’t like the idea of assigning a person’s bad behavior in a former life to bad karma when they are going through something horrendous like a terminal brain cancer or the loss of their legs.
I do believe in action and reaction in this life. A person commits a crime and usually imprisonment is the reaction, but in my belief that’s not past life or this life bad karma.
But karma is based on belief and speculation, and I choose to believe there’s more than karma involved when it comes to a person’s suffering.
