What if my snarky comment causes someone to have a moment of self-reflection and they turn their life around? What if my road rage causes me to swerve and avoid a major accident that would have killed 12?
We can’t know the future or consequences of our actions. So we have to make each individual choice to the best of our ability
I blame his parents for birthing him which lead to his eventual death.
I’m only snarky in a mean way to terrible people, so no regrets.
Which one of the thousands of steps he took along the way is 100% responsible for his death? Which one of the thousands of steps contributed to his death?
None of them.

Frankly?
I wouldn’t mind.
I (or anyone really) can’t have a net positive effect on each and everyone in the world and that’s fine because I’m not a god nor paid that much. If “some god” comes complain at me, I’ll just point them at the nearest mirror.
That doesn’t mean I’m going to be an ass about life, simply because of the same precept. But there’s a wide gap between “worrying about everyone” and “taking shit from anyone” that I’m very comfortable maneuvering in.
When you are not a god, ignorance is bliss (mental health).
