What does Buddhism imply about our relationship to the Causative Force?
Part II of II
...Some say we have “free will;” some say we are predestined.
Each has their own impact to imprint upon our concept of the direction we take in life.
With predestination we have no choice; things have already been predestined.
Perhaps some form of this is true, after all would we have chosen to come into a life filled with suffering, pain, abuse, rejection, envy, isolation… if we already existed within the arms of the Causative Force?
However, if all is predestined, then our relationship to the Causative Force would take on the aspect of having been pre–planned.
With predestination, all our suffering would be unavoidable.
With predestination, your having to face the Causative Force, once having finished your journey through life, would have no impact upon your soul for where is the logic in a Causative Force holding you accountable for what She predestined would happen to you?
On the other hand, what if you are wrong?
What if predestination is not the case?
Then what are you to say when you return?
