INTERESTING QUESTION!

If we are responsible for the pain we experience when we get hit by a random idiot on the road seems to imply predestination.

Does that mean that when I go and have breakfast in the morning, it is already predestined what I will eat?

Which leads to the questions "Who made all of these choices for us?" and how much of our lives are predestined?

        Happiness is the result of an enlightened mind whereas suffering is caused by a distorted mind.
