This obsession with universal laws or spiritual essences or gods that wait until bad things happen --or worse, that let people do bad things repeatedly and only 'stop' them after they die-- is confusing. Can't someone come up with a god or a karma that stops bad things from happening instead of letting it happen so that it can visit more bad things on the perpetrator? Why is karma so fucking evil and stupid?
1) According to yoga Karma kicked in (so to speak) when the free will start and that is when lower form of life like animals merge into the human form.
Without free will there is not karma so karma does not apply to animals or plants.
Once you got free will karma must be there in order to restore the lost balance.
2) God act like a father towards his GROWN up kids.
And act exactly as you would do with YOUR grown up kids.
Now your grown up kids left home and you must let them do what they like in the good or the bad.
Why God should be blamed for what people do?
Would you be blamed for what your grown up kids do?
You never thought of that Ton, did you?
