That makes some kind of sense, if I assume any of it makes sense.
What about everyone's very first life, was that random what we got to be? We had no karma to catch up with us.
This is a very difficult question to answer. I'll try to take my best shot at it. According to the teachings of the Buddha and what I feel is something like this. Cells began in the ocean and cells divided in to two and so that process went on. During this evolution process plants on land evolved. Then an organism evolved with a bond for craving therefore a consciousness. Craving makes it do good and bad. That is the origin of karma.
In the teachings of the Buddhist doctrine it tells us to live the present life riotously. To look back as to why life began is a waste of time because there is no time for that explanation in simple words. 2500 years ago the Buddha's teachings reveal that the universe expands and collapses in an infinite number of times.
"Suppose someone was hit by a poisoned arrow and his friends and relatives found a doctor able to remove the arrow. If this man were to say, 'I will not have this arrow taken out until I know whether the person who had shot it was a priest, a prince or a merchant, his name and his family. I will not have it taken out until I know what kind of bow was used and whether the arrowhead was an ordinary one or an iron one.' That person would die before all these things are ever known to him."
"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path" - Gautama Buddha
