Andreas, thanks for the beautiful reply. I do see what you are trying to convey here. Its hard to understand that we are responsible for ALL things that happen to us. Although I have heard this concept so many times before and read so much about it, it is still hard to sink in especially when something that I don't like happens to me, but when I have made conscious attempts to see the world armed with this knowledge, somehow the world seems like such a wonderful place to live in.
