It is said and written in ancient books that performing wholesome actions will bring good results in return whereas conducting unwholesome action will receive a bad outcome. But it is so hard to convince people that it would be better to plant the seeds of good merit when all around them they are faced with unscrupulous people who have benefited and are enjoying themselves from the fruits of their unwise action. They have a super comfortable life whereas the good guys are face with all sorts of obstacles.
It is so hard to obtain real life evidence to prove to others of the benefits of doing good deeds.Maybe it is because my circle of friends are few. People do not go around telling their life stories. I would really like to hear from people and document their experience so that there are written proofs to help those who are desperate to change their destiny. As a ray of hope for those who are in the dumps.
At present I have to content myself reading the Four Lessons of Liao-Fan, The Incredible Phenomenon of Karma and The Stories of Liberating Lives. Reading them (constantly) reminds me that there are people who were able to change their destiny by accumulating merits. That they were able to overcome whatever bad karma they have planted in the past by performing good deeds in this life. That life is not predestined and one can change it..........either way.
Sometimes we ask ourselves whether there is such thing as retribution. In this age, more people are selfish than kind. They are careless in their action and words. Bullying not only happens in school. It is also a common thing in college. Some girls are especially cruel. They work in groups and zoom in on their target who is often weak, inexperience and unwise to the world. They spread rumours about her and influencing others to boycott her.They don't realize that due to their unwise action, they cause their victim to suffer depression and have suicidal thoughts. It cause so much pain to those who care for her...........and who desperately search for ways to help her overcome her depressive thoughts. It take months and even years before she could overcome her fears, lack of confidence and depression.
One does not seek revenge for the suffering that one has undergone. It doesn't solve the problem .........what is done cannot be undone.............the pains and sufferings of the past cannot be deleted. One just hope that all these bullies or their loved ones experience what they dish out to others.Only when a needle prick a person will the person feels the pain. Then they will realize the folly of their action and words...........and learn a bit of kindness.A bit of kindness goes a long way.
