But when tomorrow comes, I will do it another day.
Words, Words, Mere Words.
What do you mean by that? my
friend asked me.
Have you ever found yourself
making grand promises and never fulfilling them? Have you ever had a friend who
made you a promise and never kept it? Are you one of those people? And if you
are one of those people, when are you planning on changing the mere word into
one of action? Man has only his word in
this world.
If the words you speak that come
out of your mouth do not manifest in the true form of benevolence and intention
for the highest good then your words are just words and a waste of your
precious breath.
For instance, I hear from many
people those New Age words of love, peace, healing coming from someone’s mouth,
and then nothing manifests from them in their daily actions or way of life. I
see that the way they live in their environment is anything but peace, love etc.
My friend still didn’t understand
the meaning of this so I was thinking of an example to give him when sitting at
a café. At that moment, I asked the café owner about a dilapidated wooden
flower box outside his shop. He was quite busy with his family life and
business to tend to it and a few customers had noticed it and had promised to
make him a new one, but he is still waiting. A new flower box would enhance not
only the café owner’s business but also beautify the environment of the
patrons.
I then approached another café patron
and asked him what he thinks of the concept of “I’ll do it tomorrow”. At that
present moment he was having a conflict with a legal client regarding the
promises she had made to complete some requirements before tomorrow's court date and that it
has complicated her own situation and has aggravated him. So, you see, the
entanglement of one person’s promise to another seems to affect many people’s
lives.
Think before promising something unless you intend to follow through
with it because your karma and that of those you entangle with will not be
positive.
