My boss and i just had a discussion about karma. He first asked if i had dreams, i said yes, and then i asked if he meant aspirations for my life or when i am sleeping. he then asked me of my aspirations. I told him i wished to find a career where i could help people in someway. this led to a discussion about karma and paying it forward.
He then asked why bad things happen to good people...for example, the death of a child. i have been sitting at my desk thinking about a proper response. i don't think tragedy is an example of karma. i think it is a result of being only human. part of existence is feeling the highest highs and lowest lows. loss is an emotion which links us all together regardless of the degree. it is an innate trait we all participate in. our abilities to cope and respond and even relate to one and other are reasons why we experience tragedy.
