It is due to one's Karma(actions) done in the present and past life
A person who is suffering himself is responsible for his suffering financially, physically or mentally.
Karma is scientific, the same as the Newton's third law of motion, every action has equal and opposite reaction.
Bible also says, "As you sow so shall you reap"
If someone plants apple trees, one will get apple fruits.
Bad people may not live miserable life in a recent times. But in future the reaction will come. It is only the question of time. When one plants seeds the tree doesn't grow immediately. It takes time to grow, fructify and bear fruits.
Just because we don't see the fruits in the tree immediately, we cannot say that the tree will not give fruits in the future.
Just consider following explanation from the book, "Nectar of Devotion", by Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON founder.
Sinful activities are of two kinds: those which are mature and those which are not mature. The sinful activities for which we are suffering at the present moment are called mature. The many sinful activities stored within us for which we have not yet suffered are considered immature. For example, a man may have committed criminal acts, but not yet been arrested for them. Now, as soon as he is detected, arrest is awaiting him. Similarly, for some of our sinful activities we are awaiting distresses in the future, and for others, which are mature, we are suffering at the present moment.
In this way there is a chain of sinful activities and their concomitant distresses, and the conditioned soul is suffering life after life due to these sins. He is suffering in the present life the results of sinful activities from his past life, and he is meanwhile creating further sufferings for his future life. Mature sinful activities are exhibited if one is suffering from some chronic disease, if one is suffering from some legal implication, if one is born in a low and degraded family or if one is uneducated or very ugly.
There are many results of past sinful activities for which we are suffering at the present moment, and we may be suffering in the future due to our present sinful activities.

A Lesson from Joseph
February 22, 2005
You know, everything has a purpose. Nice cliche, right? It is true though. God has been expanding my understanding of His sovereignty lately. Think about Joseph...good guy, follows after God to the best of his ability all through his childhood and young adulthood. And where does that get him? His brothers sell him into slavery, and he eventually lands in an Egyptian prison. Falsely accused...mistreated. He keeps on trusting, and the Lord delivers him out of prison and into leadership in Egypt. His brothers come to buy food during a famine and they try to apologize for the hardships they caused him and he says...no, don't apologize...you were just carrying out God's plan...Now, how many of us would say, "You better say you are sorry for all you put me through!" But Joseph had such a grasp on the sovereignty of God, that he forgave and trusted that God's plan was and is the best for all. Every part of what he went through had a Divine purpose. Every moment of suffering was part of His plan. Now that is a freeing place to live.
God created me to be able to sing, play volleyball, and get along with most everyone. None of that is due to a random, creative desire to have lots of different kinds of people in the world. It is stategic to His plan...I think we all should take a look at what gifts, talents, and interests He has given us, and realize that someone's eternity could be connected to it. Start looking at your hobbies as a possible bridge to someone that needs the life of Jesus in their lives. That is all this cd is...a bridge. My prayer is that many will cross that bridge into true life in Him.
No matter what you may be facing today, believe that it has Divine purpose. Maybe, the very trial you are going through will be a bridge for someone to cross...to Him.

Peoples are habbited to live in PAST Or In FUTURE.
Human Psychology allways drift toward PAST.
And dreams and imaginations gravitise toward FUTURE.
Both type of living, creats psychosomatic stress.
To be with present moment is the art of healthy and happy living.

the problem wid common man is that he thinks abt all the negative experiences and forgets abt all the good experience...the fact abt life is that falling is inevitable but learning from bad experiences and self-guiding onself is the key to successfull life....
wisdom is the key.....
i think that ppl enjoy so much in their life span but focus only on their sufferings and eventually ppl tend to forget all the good things and loose the ability to motivate oneself..

Because in every time of trouble, there is always the potential for some good consequence to result.

People do not suffer by the circumstances but they suffer through their own deeds. they should not blame others but try to face their problems "before saying you cant say I will and then give to it your best. then see your life will surely succeed and the people who try never fail. Thank You.

I don't know...and I wish I did. I wish I had answers for all the questions and doubts and mysteries of life. But, I don't, so I hurt the same as everyone.

The only law in the cosmos, the law of karma. However the law of karma can be transcended.
