Accidental Thief


A Tit for a Tat (236)

Tit: Someone accidentally wore my shoes left at the door.
Tat: How do you know?
Tit: A somewhat similar older pair is left behind!
Tat: Maybe it was deliberate!
Tit: Looks like I have to wear this older pair now.
Tat: What if they belong to someone else who hasn’t left yet?
Tit: I would be another accidental thief!
Tat: Or a deliberate one!

  1. The above scenario lightly suggests that chains and chains of reactions take place everyday whether intentionally or unintentionally. No individual can isolate their actions or decision from others. Everyday either we are creating new causes for ourselves or others. We are also experiencing new effects that are created by others which is applied onto us. This is how karma can be experienced in a group or even between those linked to us. Just a simple virus infected email. We could get those in our email contact list affected by the same virus as well. The Buddha’s message on interdependent origination makes greater sense in this modern and intricately networked world of ours. Therefore be mindful of oneself and others. Whether we do something or not do something. We are all creating causes. If an entire world does not do something such as smoking. We will have a world free from tobacco smoke. Who says nothing has not an important place in this world. Nothing does not contributes. It does not always need to be something before that is considered important to us.
