I believe what Sam is talking about is coupling what I said with Karma, in that cause and effect based on our past actions lead us to future events.
That consciously or not, we are led to everything that happenbs in our life. The whole "no accidents" clause as it were.
I'm glad you understood what I meant earlier, I believe in the former not with the latter.
If a woman gets raped I don't believe her karma led her to that because others impose their will on others all the time.
We do not control everything, we only control how we respond to everything.
The idea that we control how we respond is responsibility, I like that, I LIVE that.
The idea that we are responsible for the event itself, well, I believe on one level that alot of what happens to us happens directly
from cause and effect of our past this is important to understand. But this does not include the will of others imposed on us, or
acting on us from outside. Ships go bump in the night, and we are only in control of our own vessel.
