Many voices in the world tells us that our kamma is not important but our world is shaped by our actions
"So our actions are important. There are so many voices in the world
telling us that our actions aren’t important: politicians who say that
they don’t care about what people think, that they’re just going to do
what they want to do; scientists who tell us that nothing we can do can
change the general course of nature. Then there’s cosmological time,
geological time, in which our efforts seem to be very puny and
insignificant. But the teaching on kamma reminds us that cosmological
time may apply to the world out there, but the world of your lived
experience is shaped by your actions, and this is the world that
matters."
~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Respect, Confidence, & Patience"
