Astrology: Karma and Random Number Generator - Discussions, questions

I don´t have an issue with the question of past lives. After all, there has been some serious investigation into it. I do have some problems with the notion of "Karma". So many people go hungry, so many people suffer severe exploitation, sexual trauma, the list goes on. Now for those who tout the notion of karma, it follows that these victims are not really victims, they are just getting payback for something they did in the past. I find that problematic. It´s also a nice justification for the status quo. They will tell you that you´re poor, not because the social system is unfair, but because you´ve got bad karma.

You got raped? Too bad, you must have raped somebody in a past life. You´re a hungry child? Well you must have been a cruel despot in a past life.

In other words, Karma is a rationalization of evil.

Of course, karma might be a real thing. I could be wrong about my doubts. Just want to say that. I´m speculating here.

Lately, I´ve been thinking about astrology as a sort of limit on a random generator. By that I mean, your soul gets called and you just randomly get assigned the configuration of planets at the time you enter the world. This way, over a period of lifetimes, you get to experience a lot of different things, because you get dealt random cards. You also get tested as to what you do with that set of cards.

It´s absurd, but it makes some sense if you view incarnation as a way to experience new things.

Am I going to argue with someone over this? No, I´m speculating.
