RE: Why do negative things happen to good people?
Good morning @edgarare1
I always found your way of thinking so very different from mine. And it's surely inspiring to read your publications and for a moment see the world the way you do.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
The answer is very simple: because of Karma. Even if a person is good in this life, they may carry over debts from their past.
It does remind me a lot about priests, who would explain that bad things do happen to good people because that's "will of the god". And we - little humans - are to limited to understand his great plan.
Personally it never made sense to me. Hearing such an explanation (karma, god etc) one can easily come to conclusion, that it simply doesn't matter if we continue being good any more. Knowing that I'm being punished because of Karma and it may goes on like this my entire lifetime is very discouraging. Wouldn't you agree?
The truth is, that most people seem never to think about Karma when things are good. And they use this term to explain bad luck to often. So Karma does sound more like 'punishment' more than anything.
ps.
I also wonder how does KArma explain increasing population. How can we all carry memories from previous lifes? Just few generations before us there was less than 1 billion people. Now we're heading towards 10 billion.
Another interesting read. Upvote on the way :)

Hello my friend, I hope all is well for you my friend @crypto.piotr...!!!
Thanks a lot for your great comment.
It is always very encouraging to read each of your comments, because for me it intrigues me to know more about how each person thinks, and through what you mention we start thinking a little more because all this happens.
Your comments are always very accurate, and as you mention it, many people come to the conclusion that God is to blame for everything that happens in our lives.
It may not be credible but this happens, sometimes we feel that we have already been somewhere before visiting it, and when the time comes to stand there, we realize that we have already lived it before, possibly through a dream or an illusion formed in our mind.
