That is what is so interesting about the world. You can have a million people face the identical situation, and get a million unique responses. Event X happens, one person feels love, one feels hate, one feels nothing, one feels anxiety, one laughs... the physical reality is almost meaningless next to the infinite variety of human configurations.

We're all working out our own customized karma... the only thing that everyone has in common is that everyone will benefit from some form of meditation. And in truth, this probably only applies to 99% of people, not everyone
