Behind Personality Is The Law of Cause And Effect

Many people often unconsciously complain, feel sorry about themselves, or whine about others.

The truth is, people who complain a lot are actually losing their own merit. Their inner selves will become darker, and bad things will ensue while good things will always elude them. 
Then, how can we cut down the tendency to complain? We can say "thank you" more often.

In fact, each kind of personality has its own cause and effect, while every shortcoming reflects underlying suffering.

For example, in a company, we might be unwilling to tolerate someone who is incompetent and creates many problems. We may even ostracize or hate him. But what you don’t know is that he might have a poor family, and was deficient in education. Life is hard enough for him. Why bother hurting him further?

​Everything happens following the law of cause and effect. What someone gets today is the reward for his past meritorious deeds. If you don’t get it, it is because you didn’t do this or that before. If you want to have a better future, please rejoice in others. Buddhist teachings believe that rejoicing in others is a virtuous act that allows you to accumulate good qualities.​
