"On the day of her funeral, all three of her sons' cries and wails could be heard through the entire alley. However, everyone could see that they were simply putting on a show for the outsiders. After putting on a great show, the three sons happily sold off the house that their mother used to live in. After dividing the money between themselves, they instantly scattered like birds.”
"So, tell me. If there is truly karma or retribution, why did this old woman suffer throughout her entire life even though she had been doing good and accumulating virtue throughout her life?"
Cadfan thought for a moment before he said seriously, "Perhaps it is simply because she is repaying the debt that she owes in her previous life?"
Carvalho sneered before he said disdainfully, "Only people who do not understand the law of events would give such a rhetorical explanation. If everyone believed that you would have to pay your debts for your past life in your current life, why don't you give m e all of your money so that I could pay you back twice the amount that I owed you in my next life, then? Would you agree to it?" "This..." Although Cadfan knew that Carvalho was
simply joking and giving him an example, he could not help but agree with Carvalho’s statement.
At this time, Carvalho said, "Similarly, some people are extremely evil and vicious, but what is the end result? They not only lived an extremely good life from the beginning to the end, but their descendants were the same too! s
"This is just like the story about the old woman that I've just told you about. After her tragic death, her three sons ended up having a very good and lucky life. One of them was a very successful businessman, one o f them became a warlord, and the other son worked very hard in Northvale. Their descendants ended up being well-known entrepreneurs. In this case, the good person did not even enjoy a single day of blessing, but those who committed evil ended up being blessed, and even their descendants received all of those blessings too. Don't you think that the law of karma is just the opposite, then?" 3
Cadfan was speechless for a moment.
Sheldon, who was sitting at the side, could not help but ask, "Grandpa Mason, if you say that karma and retribution do not exist at all, what is the reason and explanation for the two extremes in this family?" 3
Carvalho smiled slightly before he said, "Sheldon, you asked the right question. Why is it? If you do not understand the law of events, you will only be cursing that God is not fair and agree with the sentence that good people will not live a long and blessed life, but the evil always survives. However, if you think about i t, if karma and retribution truly exist, that sentence would not exist at all. If there was truly karma and retribution, the good people would not die young, and the evil people would not be rewarded at all. This is a contradiction in itself." 6
As he said, Carvalho changed the topic as he continued, "However, if you can understand this law, then you will understand that this has nothing to do with karma, but it is simply dependent on the family's different fate."
