i dont find your response sardonic. i often think about those who are really and truly suffering. i live in a rich country i have never even missed a meal unless i chose to. not that physical suffering is the only suffering. but if your physical condition is so intense that just survival is a big issue then it is basically impossible to devote much time or thought to anything else. from a buddhist standpoint they would say that karma is involved but i just dont believe in karma personally. could it be choice that we make preincarnation.
but then why would u choose a life where u would suffer so very greatly.
i find it to be an endless loop there is no satisfying answer at least not for me. so then what to do, i would think become the best person u can possibly be if u are in a position to assist your fellow man. in the end that is what is really important for me doing what i can where i am to be a positive force for others and the rest that i have no control over is in the hands of god
