George, you do misread me. I am not "defending" myself, and I am "justifying" nothing. Also, I happen to have a wonderful life. Bloody but unbowed, that's me! LOL! Really. I'll bet Sam feels lucky in life, too. For one thing, I lived in Africa for five years. Gives a person perspective. Nothing to defend. Nothing to justify. Just a rebarbative (to me) position about the causes of human suffering on offer here that I felt like responding to. There's a book by Charles Keyes and E. Valentine Daniel, my husband tells me, titled Karma:An anthropological Study. As I understand it, it is a field investigation, in village India, of how the concept of Karma is used to perpetuate social injustice. Most Americans are instinctively repelled when they confront the rationale for the caste system, however it presents itself.
