KenJ, I know for a FACT that if I am lucky enough to become financially independent it would be the greatest life ever. I have an extremely strong work ethic and strong passion for my industry (that most others in this industry don't). I will be able to handle it so well, and would be a great...

I went to a top university, worked harder than 99% of the people in the world, am a generous person and have helped those who needed help my whole life, but I can't even get a job right now and everything in my life is going bad, I am the victim of racial discrimination wherever I go and nobody...

If you don't want someone to be miserable, give them good and comfortable conditions to begin with! You can't go around fooling yourself that a bad life or bad circumstances are somehow a gift. Every time I interact with people, every conversation, I'm being judged negatively and discriminated...

Ken, I don't really understand your point? What's your point? You are saying that's it's actually good for everyone to start out differently and NOT be equal, sure that looks good... for the people who started out at advantageous spots. The view doesn't look so good for someone born in a...

Not everyone's problems are equal. A model with "money problems" but in all other aspects has a life full of wealth, love, and peer support and social belonging is no doubt far superior life than a minority kid who is discriminated against his entire life and cannot marry or find a decent job to...

If anything, people like Donald Trump, Putin, Wall Street billionaires, and corrupt politicians across the world should be in line to be "humbled" before me. I've been nice to people all my life, helping others selfless-ly. Yet I am discriminated against, have no social group, can't get a decent...

To learn what? What is there to learn from being homeless or having bad experiences? That life isn't fair? We didn't need to learn that - we already knew that. What did you learn from your life experiences? I just believe that there isn't much to learn at all. Why do I need to experience all...

If reincarnation and karma are true, then people who are homeless, begging on the streets, are precisely there because they have been troublesome in their past life and are now reaping the karma for their bad actions in another life. So the logical thing to do is NOT to help them, right? By...

S&S, thanks for your long answer. I don't have a problem with people getting more than others, even if it is from birth conditions. What I do have a problem is when people who have it better than others start abusing their privilege to make life even more miserable for less fortunate people EVEN...

No soul in their right mind would want to experience the following: 1. War 2. Rape 3. Brutality 4. Torture / abuse 5. Emotional anguish 6. Discrimination 7. Failure 8. Loneliness. It's ok, I'll pass. I don't think it's necessary for me to experience all of these things to gain enlightenment...

I just cannot wait to see people "who have it all in this world" like Trump, Putin, Wall-Street bankers, models, etc... get to experience the polar opposite of their status and wealth in their next lives - i.e. unpopularity, bullying, and poverty. That would be fair!

S&S, thanks for your reply. Yes I agree I have grievances, but I don't think they are unreasonable. I like what you said, but my only stipulation is what you said would be perfectly ok and acceptable, but ONLY if reincarnation and mind-body dualism exists. If it turns out we don't get subsequent...

To require someone to "keep fighting and climb the Everest with prosthetic legs" is too difficult an ask for most people. The question still comes down to: why do some have it easy automatically and others must have it 100x harder but console themselves with their lot? Why couldn't their souls...

I might ruffle a few feathers here, but I wanted to put out a thought I had regarding the detailed discussions about soul evolution, reincarnation, planning lives, karma, etc.... How much of this is just us (especially people in difficult circumstances) finding consolation for themselves and...
