Why Were You Born in This Body, Why was I born like this? In this body? Buddha's Answer

Why was I born like this? In this body? This family? This life? We don't always ask it out loud, but it lives inside us. A boy with a sick body might ask, why me? A girl born into poverty or into war might ask the same. Even someone with wealth and health may still feel a strange emptiness and wonder, why this life? Some people say it's all chance. That life is a random game, like dice rolling across a table. Others say it's genetics. Our body and mind come from DNA, passed down like a script. Some say a god decides everything. Who is born where, with what face, with what future? But if you stop and feel deeply, these answers often don't touch the real question inside us. The question is not only about science or outer cause. It's personal. It's about meaning. It's about a life that feels like mine, even though I didn't choose it. This question isn't new. Long ago, thinkers in many cultures struggled with the same puzzle. Some saw life as chaos. Others saw it as fixed destiny. But the Buddha offered something different. He didn't give a magical answer. He pointed to something we can observe. Something not outside us, but within our own actions and mind. He spoke about karma, not as superstition or punishment, but as a natural pattern of cause and result. He said, Beings are owners of their actions, karma, heirs of their actions. They originate from their actions, are related to their actions, and have their actions as their refuge. It is action that distinguishes beings as inferior and superior. This doesn't mean we are blamed for everything. It means our actions, what we do, say, and think, leave traces. Those traces don't disappear. They shape what comes next, sometimes in ways we don't remember, but that still echo in this life. Think of it like this. A tree grows where a seed once fell. The fruit today comes from a planting long ago. In the same way, the life you have now didn't appear from nowhere. It is part of a long stream of causes. Some causes are recent, from this life. Some are deeper, from before this body. But they all connect. They don't decide everything, but they shape the conditions. The Buddha never said we are controlled like puppets. He said we are participants in this unfolding. So when we ask, Why was I born in this body? We are asking about the results of actions we cannot fully see. Some people ask, If this is true, why can't I remember anything before this life? It's a fair question. Memory is like a candle.
