Due to the fact that reality is simply a system of different aspects that interact with each other in such a way that reality unfolds by its own accord.

Your question simply stems from the manner in which you have decided to interpret a netural and objective reality. :wink:

So simple, yet so profoundly true. :thumbup:

Most see all of these problems, and a very few see nothing but opportunities, full of potential for positive growth and change. Typically, these select few are more aware of the nature of how things work, and they realize how actions now can influence reality. :grin:

Perhaps there is no such concept of "bad" or "good." Maybe everything we experience just is.

Why do some people only count the hits and not the misses?

because we aren't conscious of the misses. it's only when we get hit that we experience a moment that is interpreted as "good", "bad", or somewhere in between.

wouldn't it be more practical to ask how does this happen?

you can always why the why, but at least a how gives you a straight answer. :wink:

Right, so if we aren't remaining aware of both, we ought to be more reserved about making judgements on the nature of human experience that don't take the full tally into account. Not that we'd even be capable of keeping the full tally. What I'm saying is, we all often don't know shit but act like we do.

Seemingly positive things happen to people due to the fruition of accumilated virtuous actions. Seemingly bad things happen to people due to the fruition of accumulated non-virtuous actions. Only cycles of lives intertwined with karmic causation can explain why seemingly bad things happen to virtuous people and seemingly good things happen to the non-virtuous.

You **almost** make it sound like it would be more acceptable if she couldn't walk and wasn't "nice looking"....

I'll take a crack at that! Anything that results in or amplifies sexual gratification. Therefore, Vaseline, porno, pimps, hookers, the use of roofies and my wife (when she's in a friendly mood) are all good.
