I have stated many times that i doubt it being there or not. i "miaharun" find it hard to believe that a horrible incident like rape can happen to one person by chance out of 7 billions people. I prefer to use karma (magic force if you may) for that explanation.Yeah, we know...you find it hard to believe that it happened "by chance" and so instead you decide to believe that she deserved it.
Quote:Again, i am also one person out of 7 billion. People are different, everyone has a different personality. If everyone thought like you on this planet, there would be no creativity, nothing to look forward, everyone will be driving the same model of a car. Again, i have no problem of accepting karma and rebirth are "nonsense" or "magic". I just like to believe in it for the reasons i have stated prior to this post. I live by the dhamma but I don't shove it down anyone's throat. Peace !
Yeah, you say you believe because it helps you to be a good person.....and if you have some definition for "good person" that's interchangeable with "superstitious victim blamer"..then I'm sure it does.
