I was flying back from Singapore and right behind me was a beautiful child crying and making lots of noise as the plane prepared to take off, The stewardess came to see the child a few times and the take off was delayed until the child was properly seated and buckle up, Both the parent was very patient with the child and pleading with the child to behave and obey the request of the stewardess. It took alot of patient and uncondition love from the parent to take care of the hyper-sensitive child. It was really a burden and hardship to manage this child.
This incident brought back a news in today's newspaper that a good and generous man jump to his death after strangling his mentally retarded child due to his business failure and pressure from loan sharks, He realized that to leave the child to his wife would be a huge burden on his surviving spouse, He is such a kind and loving man although what he did was wrong , May he have a better life in his next incarnation,
In Buddhism, we cannot judge what is right or wrong and who are we to judge, The dead man and the hyper-sensitive child is just only answering to thier karma from their previous life, There are so much hardship in the world and so much unhappiness if we were to zoom into a specific incident or happening, To avoid such suffering is to let go our fixing mind and search for peace from within, Lets have good wish to both of them, Namo,,,,
