A SMALL STORY

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

Once a man went to a restaurant
and ordered various items: pasta,
drinks, sweets, and so on. He
had a hearty meal and relaxed.

The waiter brought the bill. The
man took a look at the long bill
and exclaimed, 'But I didn't
order this bill!'

When you eat, you don't think
about the bill, but the bill comes
only as a result of all that you
ate. Similarly, in life, all that you
undergo are the effects of your
own incomplete actions.

Then when you do not take
responsibility for these actions,
the very actions and their effects
bind you into further incomplete
actions or desires.
