Will Smith./Chris Rock – Consequences

Below is John’s transcription from this video. Read through it and meditate upon it. You may find it most helpful.

From the time we are born we learn that there are consequences to everything in life.

If we play with a rattlesnake we will get bit!
If we gamble and are foolish with our money we will lose it all!”
If we put our hand in the fire we will get burned.!

This past week we saw another example of this.

What may be a joke and simple humour to one can be deeply painful and upsetting to another. one breeds the other. there can not be a painful slap in the face without first a form of instigation. The events of that night were tragic because in one moment one man gave up his control and returned to a mindset of the late 1800s.

Consequences are a powerful thing, we reap what we sow, more than we sow and always later than we sow. Sow poison ivy in the ground and poison ivy is what you will see. sow tulips and roses in the ground and that too is what you shall see.

While many people defend Chris rock and condemn will smith, how about taking a look at the deeper picture. take a look at what Hollywood, or society and our world had become.

When is it ever acceptable to poke fun at another’s infirmities illness or battles? where will it end? poking fun at a cancer patient, a leukaemia sufferer, how about a veteran who has lost both his legs?

There is a very fine balance between humour and cruelty. and what you think as humour. another may have just had their greatest battle exposed and made fun of.

Ponder upon these things, reflect upon them

Namaste my friends.
