Quote by Marcia Wallace
I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma.

However, as a Buddhist, they feel a sense of empowerment and accountability for their own actions and karma, believing in their ability to actively influence their circumstances. The quote underscores the contrasting perspectives of surrendering to fate versus taking personal responsibility for one's destiny.
