Let it be.
So you are on your way to a job interview that will not work out because you are late as you stop to rescue a drowning man.
You get another job. This one in law enforcement for your local county corrections division. Years later your job requires you to escort a convicted murder to his execution. When you arrive, you recognize him as the man you saved from drowning that fateful day.
He went on to kill another man in a dispute over gambling wager. You believe that if you had not saved him the other man would still be alive.
What is your role and what are your responsibilities in this unfolding?
You can not control the outcome of your actions. You have no responsibility for such outcomes that are unknowable in that instance of the Now when the decision is made.
<...>
The rational voyager in this Matterium adopts the stance of detachment from the results of their actions. The karma that ripples from our actions is mostly unperceived and unknowable. That will change given enough Lives in this Matterium.
As a perpetual Tourist in this Matterium, your accumulation of experiences will lead to a changing of your perspective, within a Life.
<...>
Yes, there is Life that is abused in any given instance of this unfolding common shared reality. Such abused Life exists as part of your experience of this Matterium, in this Life, to aid your own karma. In that experience, of the abuse of Life manifesting in your awareness in this instance of the Now, your responsibility is clear; stop the abuse, without regard to the results. Capture and punish the abusers to assist them in their karma, without regard to the results. Aid, and comfort the abused, without regard to the results. It is the doing in the moment that is important.
<...>
Maturation of individual awareness is an integral part of the self revealing of the Ontology. Everything is all grist for the mill as karma grinds on.
