We picked up the query from early Buddhism Q&A of Albomulle Sumanasara Thero October 15th, 2020 @ Gothami vihara
Q. “I think people are influenced by their Karma to some extent, but in Buddhism, they think that they can live good lives by improving the mind. I think it’s a good idea. However, for example, what if they are abused babies and die even though they are a few months old or younger? They look innocent though. Are they completely influenced by their karma like fate? Also, does that mean they did something vicious in their previous lives?”
