I know many people who harmed me but they live a cushy, uncomplicated, life whereas I suffered greatly.from their actions. Do evil people ever get what they deserve in this life??
This is probably not the coup de gras of why these individuals seem to live modest, unintensive, normal lives, but it could explain some cases: People with lower-than-average intelligence (e.g. an IQ in the 90-75 (SD15) range), generally speaking, have a propensity to be more violent than people with above-average intelligence. The hypothesis is something like this: A corollary of low intelligence is lack of empathy, which is most likely resultant of their inability to produce complex thoughts, develop abstractions, look beyond solipsism, etc.I know many people who harmed me but they live a cushy, uncomplicated, life whereas I suffered greatly.from their actions.

By that logic, I must've been a jerk who made people want to feel alone(??) and so now Im the one isolated from everything. Does that mean in the next life I'd have friends and be able to reciprocate like a normal person?My understanding is karma catches up with everyone eventually. Those of us who were awful in past lives have a chance to redeem it here by feeling what we once inflicted. Those of us who are awful here have a bunch of lives coming up which aren't going to go well until that's worked off. That's a scary idea to those being awful now, but the flip side is it removes the ability to blame anyone else for our current circumstances.
My solution is to focus on avoiding bad karma and generating good karma, knowing either way it will catch up eventually, in this life or future ones.
