Personally, I don't think karma is there to imprison us in our present lives. I think it's there to teach us things about ourselves. For example, I have a serious mental illness. I could look at that in two ways. One of the ways would be looking at it negatively like it's a curse. It is a curse in some ways, truthfully. But I could also look at it as an opportunity to learn more about myself and about the world. It's never been helpful for me to look at my mental illness as a curse, thus. I look at it as an event. It's an event that changed my life. I get to decide whether I look at it in a positive or negative way. I can also choose to see it neutrally.
