I don't know but I do believe all karma has to be repaid at some time or another.

I've thought about this quite a bit in the past. I don't know if reincarnation is a reality or not but its interesting to think about. i have heard the theory that conditions in our life are determined by deeds in a past and you ask if this is fair. i would have to say yes and this is why.... OK so say you have your first life, your a crook maybe (just for an example) you learn nothing about being a good person by being a crook and overall you were a bad person, say you die before you learn the err of your ways. you go into limbo (assuming there's a point where you reflect on things and are aware of your past lives, then your assigned a new body and you are born again, now the conditions that are set aren't necessarily to punish a person for bad deeds there more to prevent it happening again or to show the "soul" what its like to be a victim to the wrongs you committed in a past life, it might not seem fair at the time your living but when you die and your in limbo again you now have 1) the crook who did not see anything wrong with being a crook or care about how anyone was effected and went to the grave that way ...and then you now have 2) the victim . maybe a victim of the very same crimes that you committed in the past life. ...can you see how this might help for a soul to learn and grow into a better being over all? when you are dead and you are in the spirit form you are aware of all your lives and you can learn from the experiences you had in each of them. now this is not to say that every rape victim was a rapist in a past life, i don't mean that at all, sometimes bad things just happen to a person but it does make sense that certain things that will occur in your life might have occurred by design. and the reason for this is for your own betterment. to give you a taste of your own medicine. it is only unfair while your alive. once your dead you see the whole picture. you are one soul,one mind who is returned to life multiple times. its the only truly "fair" way to insure that eventually EVERYONE has a place in eternity. everyone in time will learn what it takes to be truly good and truly enlightened.

No I don`t. To Imply that our condition is pre-ordained by deeds in another life is a form of Hard determinism. Which is not compatible with a person having free will.
If our condition is pre-ordained then what separates this life from the previous one? I would not consider this phenomena to be two separate lives but an extension of the first one. How can we have the freedom of choice to change our condition if it is already predetermined?

not necessarily unless the is some phenomenon where we can remember a previous life which is most like impossible we have no knowledge of what we could have done. The deeds of the life we live should determine the conditions of it self. The choices of this life not the previous.

I think you need to switch it around. I think what you do now in this life sets the plan for what happens in another life...
I would never know what I did in another life...so that wouldn't help me at all would it?
Hmmm...maybe I was a freaking old bitty worry wart in my last life. Would explain a lot of things.

Fair or true? If you believe in it, it certainly is perfectly fair. Your actions create direct consequences that are in proportion to, and based on, whatever you did. You can't get much more fair!

It is a sort of,"Go now, pay later scheme'. Presumably if one went earlier, one better pay up when the bill is presented.
