Everyday we are engulfed by the news media about horrible events that happen around the world. We hear reports of weather disasters, wars, conflicts, murders, thievery, treachery, deceit, famine, and disease on all levels. The media seems to thrive on the badness that continually occurs.It gives the impression that the world is mostly bad.
Despite all of bad news the seems to prevail, I find that in my own personal life that I don't experience the horrible occurrences that I hear about. Yes, I experience my daily problems that I must solve, but the horror that happens to much of humanity seems to be absent in my life. Am I just lucky or blessed, or is my life a disaster waiting to happen? Do we really live in a separate reality where many lead joyous lives which resemble some degree of heaven? Do those who suffer the calamities and maladies of an unjust world live in a level of hell? Does karma have any role in this?
