Posting 1518 Garuda Purana (which is one of the eighteen Puranas forming part of Smriti & is in the form of conversation between Lord Vishnu and Garuda, emphasizing the reason and meaning of Human Life form) says Sukhasya dukkhasya na kopi dataParo dadatiti kubhuddir esa Swayam krtam svena phalena yujyateSarira he nistara yat tvatya krtam. This roughly translates as Every action has its own result. It has to be experienced by the doer. Good action results in pleasant experience and evil action results in unpleasant experience. The Sangam Literature in PuRa NanooRu too has a similar message in the phrase Theethum Nanrum Pirar Thara Vaaraa (Evil and good do not come from others). These imply that none external really gives us joy or sorrow whereas our own deeds bring to us their fruits. Whatever we do in life the results may not always be that one has desired. This is what is the centre of Karmic Theory as obtaining in Gita. As some body said, if ones thoughts, expressions & deeds may not produce the resultant results in the same degree & when it does it is ones baghya. As such all results big & small are produced by destiny. The concept of Fatalism, as a philosophical doctrine, also stresses same, namely, the subjugation of all actions to fate. This is what Vaali wrote in more comprehensible words as kaal kondu aadum pillai nool kondu aadum bommai, un kaiyil andha noolaa nee sollu nandhalaalaa in the song Unakkenna meley ninraay ! Philosophy apart, we do not have to feel utterly hopeless about such uncertain reactions, the nature might bestow us with. If we accept such unsavoury results as possible, we can make the gravity of our disappointments drastically less, in a graceful way. Otherwise, people become reactive, which could often be negative, as some of the characters in films are portrayed. The average man could become unwittingly influenced by such portrayals. Listen to Choodi koduthaval naan thozhi by P.Suseela, on the lyrics of Kannadasan, from the film Teacheramma music scored by T.R.Paappa. The sequence projects a responsible nayika accepting the loss of her love to another. She seems to have less qualms about the negative destiny of her romantic overtures, which lightens her sorrow. A nice pathos melody, which is not over melodramatic. youtube/watch?v=8brWBLiR858&sns=em
