Is it a punishment?
Is it a examination?
Is it a misunderstanding as to considering the qualities of being GOOD?
or else..?


since i don't believe in karma, i would say a combination of wrong decisions and random chance...


Its true but what/who influence to decision making..its our believe or thoughts or miscalculation of situation.
thanks


we do... some things that happen are from decisions we made long before, some are done right away... and some are just random chance that had nothing to do with anything that we did...

bad and good things happen to everyone, but people tend to only reflect on the bad... when something good happens, no one thinks about the events leading to that, but only on the events of the bad...

well,"all things work together for good to those who love God;to those who are called according to his purpose".


That's right. And every single person has a choice. They
can either follow his word and praise him, or reject him
and suffer the consequences. That's my belief.

I figure I was a terrible person in a past life and this why these awful things keep happening to me.


In seriousness I believe what cases hurt is a human's
innate sense to want things. The more we want, the more
we hurt.



Guess it must be my fault for wanting a roof over my head and food in my stomach which is the cause of bad things are happening to me. slaphead
well stop that, silly woman tongue2


Yep; I am so greedy wanting to survive that I am being punished by this so called God. What a pile of horse manure that is. laugh

Did you not read my reply?


I meant "things" as in things that aren't necessities.
Material goods and other junk we think we need, but in
reality don't. wink

Yes; I did read your post and I actually don't want material things; I just want to be able to keep my home and keep food in the fridge; yet bad things still happen to me; like recently losing my job.

Sorry to hear about you losing your job.sad2
All the best of luck finding another one.

You're a good woman. I was making reference who
put material goods above humans. Clamoring for
the world is evil.

I've always been under the impression that it happens to keep us humble. It can happen to ANY type ;)

I have to agree with that statement. I actually gave up much of my things to charities and even unemployed; I am still volunteering to help my community. I have an interview on Wed; so hopefully something will come up soon.

it cracks me up how everyone wants to blame something else for their troubles... and only one or two people seem to understand that it's their attitude that causes most of it...

one thing people should remember is that they get what they are focused on... meaning if something bad happens, they focus on that rather than something good. if you focus your attention on bad things, then bad things will happen... if you focus on the good things, then good things will happen...

if you don't believe me, try it and see what happens..

I have had nothing but strings of bad luck since I was born. However I am driven and optimistic. I think it's all the hard things in life that have made me so realistic and yet cheerful. I have had to train myself to think positively and not EXPECT bad things in my life. Even though they continue to happen, I always wake up on the right side of the bed telling myself today is going to be a good day, and usually it is, it just feels like hell when your in the thick of it, but everything passes. flowerforyou

It is karma of previous births. Otherwise why one is born rich and the other a begger.

I Born innocent,

But,
The Hard Realities,
Deceiving Natures,
Broken Promises,
Double Faces,
Attractive Words,
Melting Emotions,
Lovely Feelings,
Harsh Truths,
Bitter Behaviors,
Loving Attitude,
Ignoring Acts,
Multi Standards,
& False Statements.

These All Taught Me a lot but i believe
i am innocent..
i am honest..
i am god fearing..
Why should i need change..
what makes difference if nothing favors ..
i learned to live in dark..
i do not care even i know their can not more worst then it is..
its do not matter..Is it right or wrong but its my approach..its my life..its my thoughts.

The free will is a concept that most often led to rebuttal of the paradox, but.. this same concept is questionable and paradoxical. The idea that the "free will" exists, or its existence is "good", are unprovable axioms, and are not accepted by all.

Simple example, a mosquito lands on your head and starts to suck your blood, I intervene with a punch, now mosquito is dead but the bash will cause a severe headache to you, now.. can you understand the goodness of my act?? it seems a 'bad action, in reality, it was a good thing
