Seeing things as they are…

26/08/2025 by A learning buddhist...

People are so afraid of the truth because denying it makes them right.

I wanted to say the past two weeks had been challenging, however, everything seems cool. I can’t be like everyone who talks about their life on Facebook. I tried to but it was meaningless. I only posted three times and that’s the end of it! As a vegan myself, I do share posts on animal cruelty in a slaughterhouse. The animals are treated with extreme cruelty. Those who enjoy meat, which is no different from our own flesh, should know and witness the killing. Sadly, through forums, I’ve seen butchers said that they are doing a good deed for God. They feel no remorse and fear. With this it explains cycle. As long as humans find joy in killing, torturing and exploiting other sentient beings, the cycle would not stop. Vegans can only try their best to advocate. 

As a cat rescuer, I have to be truthful with what I do. In fact, no matter who we are, we need to be truthful to ourselves. When we are truthful to ourselves, we are also truthful to others. The reason others could not find fault in me is because I’m mindful not to lie. They tried very hard and they could not find anything. We all know people who speak the truth are always hated. I can’t fit into their view and that’s okay!

Greed, hatred and delusion. The more things happen around me, the more I see how they have fallen into place and I don’t seem to find anything that is good or bad and this allows me to see things as they are. I always love and enjoy living in solitude, therefore, I don’t feel anything missing. Not my pride, wealth or reputation. However, when I’m  accused, I do want people to know what others say about me is not true and it’s up to the rest to decide what to believe. That’s all! 

What makes me feel lighter is having fewer people around me!

  • “Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87
