Thank you Element, I also see things that way as well.
We are able to 'see' our harm and it's effect and change the actions in the future. Learning compassion.

Bundokji, our Ego is a hindrance, it is one of the things that we as Buddhists try to let go of. It is an attachment to self being this good.

Cause and effect is Karma/Kamma, there is no way out of this. The Buddha is still experiencing this. Because of His actions and teachings he caused great amounts of good. So He is in His Pure Land, experiencing the calmness, peace and joy of his actions.

If something is caused then we are still in the same chain/vicious cycle. WE choose to cause something to happen. It is up to us how we choose to react to what is going on.
Nothing just happens to us, it is all Karma/Kamma returning things we have done previously in this existence or previous one/s

I take the title of this thread to mean more of a question asking "do we grasp onto what annoys us, (attach ourself to it) or do we learn/show compassion and let it go" In not letting it hinder our path.
