You Are Gamed!

Posted by iN tHe BlOg

Have this ever come into your mind? We are in a game of a realistic world. You know, a game of our own world. And the difference between realistic world and virtual world is that you set your own games rules and you choose your own role. Example: well, you can choose to be a villain or a kind soul... Maybe working as a teacher, a nurse, lawyer, doctor blah, blah, blah.... Or maybe the bad ones like robber, rapist, erm... Well, whatever evil roles that you can think of.

Playing in this realistic world is not an easy task, of course. Cause you can never be game over unless your time is up. But in the virtual world, you can always start all over again or just save and start where you ended. See? That is how simple in virtual world. And not to say the difficult part, we all know that.... We need to crack our brains to solve all the different stages and come out with different strategies. The fact is, this happens in realistic world as well.

And the moment we are born, we have to play this game whether be it or not. Our game starts. And when we are a child, parents set rules for us. The clever ones learnt it fast and played it well. The slower ones, not to say, always ended up losing, by getting scolding, caning, and even getting poor results in their studies. Some even wanted to gave up this game. I think I don't need to say about this part. All these are part of the game.

As we grew older, we know that we can set our own rules in this game and get others to play with us. And we played in others' games as well. Frankly speaking, until now, I still don't really know how to play in this adult stage. It is not as easy as it seems it should be. There is no such thing as bonus points or rewards for you or even for you to restart again. To correct the earlier saying, there is bonus points and rewards but it often comes in a hard way. But you can never restart again. Even if you can, ...... It will never be you again, that's for sure.

Think about it again. Now, you know you are playing your own game. How you want to set your rules? How you want others to play in your game? It can never be in the way you want cause everyone want everyone to play according to their rules. One thing for sure, we can choose what kind of player we want to be. And the best part is, in the past, you can never ever thinking of changing your looks in this game. You can only change your style, the way you dress or behaviour but you can never change your looks. Now, You can. You want to look like who, change your shape, and even whatever, I guess which you can think of.

Whether you like it or not, the fact is, you are gamed!

Karma

It just came to my mind... the most common thing that we all do in our daily lives... Refilling toilet paper. Yup, you have not read wrongly at all. Is refilling toilet paper! What does it got to do with karma??



Simple explanation of karma: the result of a person's actions as well as the actions themselves. Which means is the cycle of cause and effect. According to the theory of Karma, what happens to a person, happens because they caused it with their actions. Karma is about all that a person has done, is doing and will do. Karma is not about punishment or reward. It makes a person resposible for their own life, and how they treat other people.



How often you are the last to used up the toilet paper? Do you always refill it? Or do you just hope that maybe the next person who comes it will do the refilling job for you?



Of course, sometimes I fall in the second scenario: hoping someone can do the job for me. Well, that's human nature.. And this is where I meant karma comes into the picture. When you are hoping that things will not come back to you, it will. I always 'think' someone in the family will do that simple job for me....... But it was always me who don't why ended in the toilet the next day with no toilet paper. (And that was me who just want to avoid the hassle of refilling the toilet paper).



Maybe it is just simple things happening. But it can reflect to reality..... Karma. Looking back at real life situation, a father who abused the child since the child was young. Slowly, the little child grew up, abused his own child and maybe even his father who used to abuse him when he was young. Get the picture? Sound similar like the toilet paper scenario?



Things that we often do, and yet we don't know it has been telling us 'We are what we do'. Or maybe our subconscious mind just choose not to notice it. In the end, whatever we do, remember karma does happen and it will always happen back to you despite whether is it a small little thing or ........
Translation of the above chinese verse:
As one sows, so
shall one reap. Every effect arises from a cause. Under certain conditions, a
cause will come to an effect. This is a universal principle, on which Buddhist
morality is based.
Here's a verse.
If you want to know the causes in your past life,
The way you live at present is the effect of your past life.
If you want to know what your future life will be,
What you do at present is the cause of your future life.
