Why are you so unhappy, why do you lead a sad life? All but karma. Why are you so happy, why do you not worry about things, why are you so free? All but karma. Why do people treat you so well, why do you have so many friends? All but karma, all but debts. Why do people slander you, treat you so bad? Al but karma, you owe them a lot. Thus life is conditioned. That is all.
The writer has a wrong understanding of karma.
Karma is NOT predeterminism.
