A. It is true it appears that the richer we are the more innocent we are, and the poorer we are the guiltier we are. However, we should remember that what we do and say is carved unseen in the universe, the true-Self. What we have done will not be lost to eternity. Everything that we do has its own time to manifest its result, just as each plant has its own different rate of growth.
In other words, no one and nothing is beyond causation because not only the fortune they are enjoying now but also the suffering we are troubled by are the result of causation. Everything ripens at its time and becomes fruit at its appropriate hour. A Chinese proverb says that although the heavenly net is so sparse that it is unseen, nothing can escape it.
