In the name of god or no, it used to, and to a point that was psychically crippling, but it doesn’t anymore, and a spiritual journey of sorts is what changed that for me.
When one identifies as we commonly do as persons living in a world of people, then it’s easy to be overwhelmed by these things, especially if one has a sensitive disposition.
When one identifies as (to put it one way) a spirit in a material world and sees the universality of this spiritual basis for our existence and extrapolates a step or two further, then all this war and strife can be reduced to karma being played out by beings that are holding fast to their imagining and experience. If it’s all a story on the big screen, the way to stop being hurt is to stop believing in the story.
And by karma I don’t mean payback for something that happened in a previous life. I mean a spirit-level fascination with an experience that engenders its repetition.
I puzzled this problem (various manifestations of humans subjugating humans) out for about 20 years starting in college, and this is where I’ve landed. I’m totally satisfied that this is what it’s all about, and as a result I’ve been more at peace with the world and myself than I’ve ever been.
