But it doesn't have to be. It could be collective karma.
Dallas, relative to any living ego, what is the difference
between karma from a past life (which involved another
ego) , and act of God, chance, or acausal synchronicity?
How can it possibly make any difference?

Dallas, I don't want to argue with you on this, just want to
present an alternative viewpoint. I do not believe that karma
(ie., causality) has anything at all to do with fairness or
justice except in an oblique way of being a balance of forces.
Fairness and even justice per se, are human concepts
and not at all universal but rather are very subjective,
cultural, and even personal.
