i settled this within myself a few months ago. i believe we each choose the lessons or experiences we will have in a given lifetime. each one, in order to become a fully experienced being, must experience lifetimes with a wide variety of situations. one life we may be wealthy another poor, one life a victim and the next an oppressor. as another person here said, it is all part of the bigger picture that we are not going to fully comprehend until a future date.

this in no way makes the pain we see, the suffering we endure or watch other endure any less painful, but it does put things into perspective. we are all on the path of development, humans and et's alike. it is only to be expected there would be a variety of personalities and motivations.
