Karma - do good things, good things happen to you. Do bad things, bad things happen to you.

Well, one forgets to add this - - in your NEXT life.

I have noticed that people who have done so much good in life, die tragically, die young, or just lose everything due to other 'bad' people. Bad people on the other hand, seem to be able to carry out their acts of evil to a great length (e. Hitler, even Kim-Jong Il) but NEVER seem to face the consequencecs.

I believe in this. And controversially so - - you can do as much good or evil in this life as you please.
The consequence - - you face it in your NEXT life.

When you are in the your next life, say B (previous life A), when you suffer a lot more than others, you tend to ask "Why me?! What did I do to deserve this! I did so much good to these folks but I can hammered!" Or you are starved and no food to eat. You blame the heavens and curse at the stars.

All along - - you HAD the opportunity to do good in life A. But you didn't. And you didn't care what the consequences you did in A was going to do. You just did bad things and moved on, and justice (or equivalent) did not take place.

For every action, there is a reaction. And consequence.

E.g if some bad folks throw an animal off a roof, people will respond angrily "I hope in the next life, they become animals and get thrown off the roof". Well, it just can't work this way. Because the person carrying out the act of tossing these "bad folks - now turned animals" in the new lives off the roof will suffer the consequence of their action. This way it will be a never-ending cycle. The person carrying out the act of karma to another, faces the consequence of the karma he unknowingly had put on the other individual, thus he will then face karma for it... goes on and on. There can be only ONE solution - - an equivalent amount of pain these bad folks had inflicted in their NEXT life.

Some people seem to be born rich, some people seem to work so hard to achieve (and they finally succeed) their goals while others suffer a lot more. Well, now you know. How could possibly an evil person (e.g Hitler) be born again as maybe... Bill Gates?

Free will + Previous life action's = This life

Which brings me back to the statement :

Karma - do good things, good things happen to you. Do bad things, bad things happen to you.

Now you know what it truly means.

Oh, and I will say that "free will" is the root of all action, good or bad. When does "free will" end or the ability to control your destiny occurs disengages? - when in death/moving on the next life. So it would make sense that is when you are placed in your rightful next life. Imagine, right now, somewhere out there, is your next life's great-great-great (?) grandfather or next life's ancestral line.

Just thought about recently. What if there was no such thing as a "bad" action?

I keep going back to the minds of 'evil' people like Hitler thinking, if he was born in a different place on Earth, or brought up in a different society, is it possible then, that Hitler will not turn out to be the Hler that we know?

OK, so what determines where a person grows up/ends up spending their early lives in? Karma - - since you have been doing good, you are placed in a good place. But how is this possible?

You see, if a person has done something wrong and "deserves" a bad return action (Karma), how is it that this person knows he has done something wrong when he/she knows it is NOT a wrong action?

You grow up in a bad society, you did not choose to be there.
You make wrong friends, you did not have a choice of 'good' friends.
You make wrong decisions, you are not be at fault since we choose to believe in what we want.
You do bad things, you are not at fault since you clearly know you did a 'good' thing.

Ever done something bad and then... feel so sorry for that person / felt it sholud not be done? You apologize, say sorry, etc. etc.?

Well, that's it. There is NO such thing as a BAD person. Or BAD action. Or doing BAD things. Because there never has been.

The things you do are simply because of how your mind has altered your life since the early days of development.

Imagine if Bill Gates grew up in a poor African region. Or Donald Trump was born and lives in Thailand. Same person, perhaps different names, but will they turn out to be the way they are today? Some might say the universe has a way of course correcting and will eventually lead them to being who they actually are today. But what if it is not the case? Things are set to be moving based on where you are placed on Earth.

I read about Saddam's childhood and what a heartbreaking story. He was beaten up by his step uncle, he only wore shoes for the first time at the age of 9 and was thrown all over society until he decided to "join the evil side". He found glory there. He decided he would not live under the judgement of a person, and decides to (in our eyes) invest in doing evil things. In the back of his mind, probably the good side had been surpressed so much that he sees what he is doing as always a good thing. So what happened if Saddam was born in the US to a wealthy family? Would he have risen to power and be a dictator like he was?

In conclusion, there is a chance no one has ever comitted any wrong doings. No has has and no one will. When one sees the act as "bad" or "evil", it is simply because of how that person has decided to act based on his past. Even the simplest of things in life (e.g something cutting a long line, talking loudly in a quiet place etc.) are simply because of their past.

...and remember, every single person on this planet is not born evil. We are all born as a blank slate -> The true testament that no evil ever existed in us all (whether current killers, murderers, etc.) at one time in our lives.
