Quoting portokal: Aenigma, chinese do believe that negative feelings have their reflection in calamities...
Unfortunately i do not remember now the feelings asociated with calamities, but the general idea was that everything is interconnected, negative thoughts will have their impact on nature. For eg. feeling of envy causes floods.
PS i love that sweet little guy with the joint  |
and i remeber that as the teacher of tai chi said it while there were inundations in the nearby the village camp we were to practice.

It is sometimes hard to understand all divine laws...But there is no harm in trying to understand them...

Quoting AEnigma III: I think that people who believe that everything is a "divine plan" are prone to resignation when things go wrong and accepting defeat as "fate" instead of being strong and fighting to change things.
If they are especially religious, they are also in danger of believing that ill things that happen to them are punishment... |
"Divine plan" and "fate" are two different concepts partner...I can not understand either...

There are really not different at all 
One involves religion, the other does not necessarily

punishment is the unsificiency of a religion.
a big trap of torture.
it might be punishment because of duality.
but what is happening to us is a lesson. to learn, to remember and ... desirably not to forget.
strenght is basic.
what gives you strenght?
tricky question.

"Divine plan"is more like macroeconomics, while the latter is at relatively micro level.
There are further finer points associated with "fate", ie., "free will", which makes the whole thing even more confusing...

I agree, but they are similar concepts no? Anyway, this is more of a "dinner party" discussion! You pay, and I will order the lobster

And there are those who believe in the power of prayer, often to give them the strength to fight.

Yuck - you Turks are heathens!!! It does NOT go with raki - it goes well with a dry white wine or champagne. Please feel free to pass the raki bottle around after the meal though
(I hope your "friend" is coming too? )

What I think is that all living species, including humans, are not important at all...The whole thing is a cover up for something fishy..that is going on behind the scenes, us totally unaware...Religions may well be screens designed to limit our awareness.
