can you think of something other than karma

Some who struggle are truly blessed.
It is the blessings poured out upon their lives by God that give them the strength to walk through the fire and remain faithful and grateful to he who provides them with the opportunity to be cleansed through great trials.

It could be a number of things. It is also individual situations. There is not one answer for this question. For some it can be health reasons or emotional decisions. But usually (not always) it is a choice decision. We make choices and the struggles can come soon or be a trickle down effect...Drugs, alcohol, abusive relationships, pregnancy, dropping out school, etc. But the key to the struggles is to find the source of where it started and pick yourself back up and make it better. It is how we handle the struggles that are the key to the repeated mistakes or constant struggles. Blessings are the same. Do we bless others? Did our families teach us about blessings and giving? There are so many equations to this question. We all experience bad times. How we react is the key!

When I went through my own struggles, when my mother and two friends died of cancer, when I would see innocent children at my kids' school that would come in with unexplained bruises and that 'sad/lost' look in their eyes... and when I was assaulted and later informed about my own chronic health problems as a result of that assualt... Every time I questioned why bad things would happen to good people.
Sometimes it's a matter of people not learning from the mistakes of their past and just wind up repeating them - I think that's a common thinking in many religions.
But, when I asked this question to my doctor while discussing my declining health - she recommended a book to me. Now I will recommend it to you:
"When Bad Things Happen to Good People" - it talks about the very things you are questioning, like life's struggles, life's blessings, random chance and peoples' freewill and how all that works in this life. It helps in understanding "the human condition" regardless of your spiritual leanings/beliefs.

No only our last birth Karm can give a full explanation to it.It is a way of rectifying our bad deeds in our last birth. That is why some people are born with a golden spoon and others are not even having a morsel. Moreever People dont ask God for help. They dont surrender totally to him. That is why this differnce. Even people who are born golden and dont do a good karm in this life will have to rectify by coming back. That is the cycle of life and death.

Some people find the struggles a blessing....I for one have never "grown" during the good times...but I sure have during the bad. Not to say I would have liked for my life to be easier....no one would wish for a harder life....but you take the good with the bad....life is not fair....but it IS worth it...As the fire refines the gold...so the fires of trials refine our faith!!! God Bless

I wish I could answer that question. Especially when I see what happens to children because of the stupid things some adults do. Why do the innocent suffer?
God Bless.
