Remember, if conscious existence is an illusion, then really, there is no bad or good. It just is.
Therefore, you can have people who act really nice and good who get all the crap in the world...
You can have people who act horribly and have all the beautiful things happen to them...
You can have people who act really nice and good who get every beautiful thing they ask for...
You can have terrible people who can have terrible things happen to them, as well...
You can have terrible people who can have great things happen for them, only to later change and then have terrible things happen (for instance, Muammar Gaddaffi).
You get the picture. It all still boils down on the intentions you put out.
As for the lion/zebra thing, you can also ask yourself, why did that particular zebra get eaten out of a whole herd? Because it was the slowest, sickest, oldest one? Okay, then why that particular slowest, sickest, oldest zebra out of X number of such zebras in that herd? Why that single particular one? Well, possibly, there was some kind of intention by that particular animal in that herd. Not good or bad...it was not personal, just an impersonal delivery of an intention. Maybe that particular animal was just more afraid of being eaten than the other such animals and therefore the universe decided it was the most efficient thing to do in that given situation, any number of things. Don't forget that you need to ask the same question for that one particular lion...why did that particular lion get the prize, as opposed to another one, etc.?
Bottom line: no good or bad as far as the universe is concerned. It's all the same. It's all impersonal. It just is.
As always, be careful what you wish for, 'cause you just might get it. No matter who you are. |
