I believe that you are not responsible for everything that exists in your reality. As simple example is the case of abusive parents or child who got raped. Though a lot of LOA practitioners say that the child was responsible, they do not offer substantial evidence to back it. Its true that if you dont pay attention to negative news, it wont exist in "your reality". But saying that it does not exist in this universe is a delusion.

When I started thinking about such events, what makes sense to me is that, things are that way for a reason. Why did that happen? Who created it? The truth is nobody has clear answers. They claim this or that is the answer but nothing makes sense. The concept of Karma from previous birth makes a lot of sense here but I dont want to detract the topic here.

In this universe there has to be opposites. There has to be darkness to understand light. You have the power ot create but I dont think you can get anything you wish for. Things are the way it is for your own growth and development....and hence its perfection. Imperfection happens due to denial and resistance. Having said so, I dont mean that you shouldnt care. I did mention that you are not responsible for creating it but I also dont mean you have to blame it on someone else. Its as it is for you to take some action and grow. We can only control our actions and not the outcome.

The Bhagvad Gita says:

Your right is to work only,
But never to its fruits;
Let not the fruits of action be thy motive,
Nor let thy attachment be to inaction.

Hope that makes sense.
