You have to understand that there is no creator or punisher outside of us. We are all just collections of constantly renewing molecules. Only our consciousness is immaterial. And everything that happens to us, we create for ourselves, with our thoughts.
Through meditation, we can learn to see how feelings arise, which become thoughts, and then we turn them into action. Meditation allows you to stop your negative emotions before they become thoughts. This way we can prevent bad deeds.
We can train ourselves to avoid our repeated mistakes. With determination, we will learn to use our resources to give love, help, protect and support, make people our friends, unite and do good.
