Reason for suffering

Everyone tries to claim as their own what belongs to God. Therefore, there is so much miseryand suffering. Because trying to claim somebody else’s property as ourown is sinful. It creates bad karma. When people take something theyare not supposed to take, they become attached to it; they becomeaddicted to it and so passionate for it that they cannot live withoutit. They commit so many sins to keep it or to get it. And that is whythere is so much crime, illicit sex, and violence.
