You almost had me in the first part but we're now talking about previous lives and transferred Karma. Even if I bought this explanation there remain questions: (1)Why are evil people evading their PRESENT LIFE bad KARMA? I mean - wouldn't it make more sense to get them in their evil life instead of letting them enjoy themselves and then punishing them horrifically in a later life? (2) Your explanation evades random destruction - like the boy who dies from an accidental blow to his head. Or are you saying god in some instances will let EVIL "FREE WILL" PEOPLE inflict retribution but in some cases he'll just drop a tree on them himself?

God doesn't do anything in this realm; does not intercede to mete out punishment. Karma takes care of all. Karma may also work in-between lives in the Astral Plane/Purgatory, again beyond anyone's need for immediacy or satisfaction from our mere perspective.

The take-away from this is it is all *extremely* fair and just, we just may not see it because our perspective is extremely limited or biased based on our circumstances, lack of understanding or bitterness.

I can't cover every way in which Karma operates, but I've given you enough to slueth out just about any scenario and have a pretty good guess how/when justice prevails.
Ah so comfort and material satisfaction (like a good meal) is actually bad for our souls? I mean I had a nice steak just an hour ago and I suddenly feel guilty.

You sound cheeky here, which is fine. Sense of Humor is good, you'll need it.

That said, how you feel about your steak is your business. I had one with melted gorgonzola last night.

Material life comes with necessary evils and built-in negative Karma.

The perfect spiritual life is unobtainable in material existence by definition.

All will fail and all will find their way to destruction unless they take the "get out of Karma free" card offered to them.
