Becoming Responsible For My Destiny

These are examples of some of the inner questions that emerge in our minds
from time to time:

'Why is she rich and successful and I am not?' 'Why did he behave in that
way with me; I've always behaved well with him.' 'Why does that one have
easy success in life and the other, however hard he tries, fails at every
step?' 'Why is he nice natured but is born blind and the other ill natured
but has no health problems at all?' 'Why does she suffer so much?' 'She is
so sweet, but yet everyone disrespects her.' 'Why did that child die at such
a young age? She was so innocent.' 'Why did I get married to such a person?'
'Why am I here?' 'How is that student in my class so intelligent?'

There are lot more questions like these that trouble us. *In the case of
sorrows, it is seen more than the sorrow, it is the question - why this
sorrow exists in my life that troubles us.  Why? What? How? When? Even so,
they all have only one answer: 'karma'.*

I don't need to go into minute details of each situation. If I see that
nothing can happen without having had a justified cause in my past or in
that of others, life becomes much easier to face, with responsibility and
the power of courage.
