I should get the results of actions for which I
have been responsible
If other’s actions are affecting me, then I am
a contributor (indirectly / unknowingly) to
that result
Is this Fate?
Fate = result of my actions (expressed thru
free-will) earlier (in this or past lives)
Since I have free-will, I can change my future
actions, thereby change the world
