@sergsfault Whatever you could have done bad in this or in another life, doesnt mean u have to suffer forever. God gives us infinite chances to "fix" anything.
Lets say, if you did something bad to someone in a past life, it doesnt mean the same thing has to happen to you in this life. You can "fix" it, just by truly understanding the wrong doing (in such an extend, you will automatically try to help people in the same kind of trouble you could have caused) Love yourself, the answers will come.

@whigrose18 i once read something about this, i will just repeat.
Lets say someone eats spoiled food and becomes ill, you say 'you ate this food, this is why you are ill'. it doesnt mean that you do not have compassion or care for them.
Similar with karma, if you are suffering you say 'you created bad karma, this is why you are suffering', but it doesnt mean you do not care for them or have compassion for them.
I read this somewhere, seems relevant.

Does the soul choose its husband/wife and children as well?

Why do you stop helping others? You are neither enforcer of karmic results nor remover of them. You help others to accumulate good karma for yourself which cleanses your mind, considering others as God's living images. Again, this should not be done with any selfish motives in mind, but as a service to God. If there is no karma in past or in future, there is no action. You stop action after you are beyond karma. Don't worry about others karma.

@whigrose18 Your question is right my friend!! I'll try to answer your query at the best of my strength. See, there is something called fate. If you happen to meet that downtrodden, that means its by fate or chance (or probability). Now if you do good by helping him out, you're adding good karma to your kitty. He's already suffering due to his bad karma but if we help him thinking that he's none but one of our own... then we not only help him but also ourselves. That spreads love in him too.
What always bothers me about this way of thinking, though, is it provides a way of justifying poverty and the like. All you have to say is the poor and downtrodden deserve to be born into a poor quality life because of bad karma, so why worry about them and help them? Provides a justification for the status quo, if taken to the extreme.

Depending on one's karma collected, one can go back down to as low as bacteria.
