The law of good and evil naturally pursues them, and wherever they may be reborn, distance and darkness always separate them. Since their paths of karma are different, it is impossible to tell the time of their reunion, and so difficult to meet again. If they do, they will be able to attain infinite life. Believing that these do not exist, they totally reject such a view. Further, by so doing, they cling to their own views more tenaciously.
Later generations learn from previous ones to act likewise.
Fathers, perpetuating their wrong views, pass them on to their children. There is no one to tell them about this. Nobody seeks to know the cause of fortune and misfortune, happiness and misery, although these states result from such acts. Brothers, sisters, husbands and wives mourn each other's death. According to the basic law of impermanence, whether death will occur in order of seniority or in the reverse is unpredictable.
