Life-Cycles...

Being a Hindu by birth, we are taught that there is a concept of life-cycle and hence there is a theory which gets proposed that what gets done in this life ( both good and bad) gets reflected in our next lives. Support for this theory gauges from the observation that while one person is born as the son/daugther of Bill Gates, the richest person in this planet, yet another is born as a beggar in poverty stricken Bangladesh, while some others are born with life-crippling handicaps as physically challenged persons... So,based on our past lives,God decides as to where we need to live our future lives and our current lives, hence is a reflection of our past deeds.

So, everyone is not created EQUAL in this world... but the more important question is , should there be a concerted effort to push for equality ? Will that be against God's wishes ?? Are we going against Nature and his wishes ?

Lets take this issue from another perspective.. Take the food chain..

Organisms lower in the food chain are consumed by those at the top.. What will happen if this is stopped. Say for example snakes decide to become more merciful and stop eating frogs.. The frog population will increase. Now the frogs consume yet another species of organism like insects, lizards. These will reduce in number due to increased frog population...
So, we see that there is a ripple effect creating a significant chaos leading us to the conclusion that everything in nature is pre-ordained and its not in our interest to disturb this equilibrium...

Similarly, are we also right to conclude that its the destiny of some to be born rich and some to be born poor and hence we cannot do much about this divine choice ??

Is that tantamount to being indiffernt or being philosophical in accepting life's reality ??
