I dun bin lissning to the news on the radio abowt the man they dun releese from the Skottish Prisun. The one wot wos conviktid ov that awfuls bomming on the plane sum yeers ago. I dun lissen very carefuls to wot Kennee Mcaskgil dun sed in his speech and I fink wot he dun sed sum reely importint fings but most peepel dunt seems to be finking abowt those fings.
I undeestands wot sum peepel is very upsets and wantid the man to be punisht rite up til he dies and wot the peepel who lost ther loved ones is very sads and sum ov them is angry. That awl makes sense but to me littul bear brain that is a bit seprates from sum ov the uvver fings Kennee dun tawlk abowt. I hopes wot he dunt minds me callin him Kennee!
You sees it is like this for me; and I nose wot this is jus me pursinal point ov view; I fink it is reely importint for peepel to be abul to shows compassion evin in the most diffikult situashuns. Compassion is one ov the fings that makes humin beens diffrint from awl the rest ov the animals. And the wurse the situashun you is in, the mor it shows wevver you is abul to shows compassion. Enyone can shows compassion to sumone nice wot dunt hurt them but it takes very speshul peepel to shows compassion to horribul, nasty, cruel or badly broken peepel. I nose it aint easy but it is importint to lurns - and ov cors not to beets yorselv up if you dunt awlways manages!
Showing compassion aint jus for the sake of the pursin you is doing it to; it is for you as wel. It do be horribul to carries arownd awl that angur and hatrid and stuff insides you and it can makes you reely ill. A very wise Grandfathur in a North Amerikan Tribe dun sed wot hating sumone is like drinking poison and eggspekting yor enemy to die!
Wot is importint abowt the justis sistum in Skotland is wot it do hav space for compassion. I dun look a bit at the Amerikan sistum and they dunt seems to hav eny space for compassion at awl. It is mostly abowt punishmunt. So praps that is why ther politishuns dunt undeestands why Kennee dun wot he dun.
The uvver fing is this; it aint Kennees problum wot Libeeyah dunt behaves very wel and sensitivly wen the man dun get home. That is Libeeyahs problim. They has to takes responsibility for wot they does. Me Tai Chi mastur dun sed wot a very wise Chineese mastur dun sed wot if yor nayburs howse do hav smoke coming owt ov the chimnee and you can heer ther dogs barking, they is ok - so leev them alone! I fink sumtimes humin beens do want to sorts owt uvver peepels lives and that meens wot they aint takin enuff time on ther own lives. Ther is a funny story abowt Jeesus - ware he do says to peepel wot they gets too bizzy finking abowt the spek ov dust in ther nayburs eye wile they do hav a HUGE pole sticking owt ov ther own eye. Hmmmmm!
The uvver fing wot Kennee dun point owt is wot the man wiv the long name aint getting orf skot free (so to speeks!) cos he is very sick and he is gonna dies very soon. Whoeva his God is, I finks wen he gets ther, he is gonna hav to ansur a lot ov questions and who nose - maybe he wil gets sent back to make up for woteva he dun. That goes for awl the uvvers wot didint gets sent to prisun for that crime as wel.
Come to fink ov it..........it do be troo for evryone..............does bears go to the same hevin as humins I wunder................

Powerful stuff, as a Buddhist I should be better at giving compassion but its not easy and its is something we have to strive towards. It is a great person who can give compassion to somebody who has done something that has hurt them or their loved ones.
ReplyDeleteI agrees Kolo Martin and I fink for the peepel wot lost ther loved ones in the bomming it is very diffikult. Sum ov the peepel Skotland wot lost loved ones dun bin inteevoowed and sed they is pleesed he is going home to die. They is speshul peepel indeed. It is intressting wot a lot ov peepel in the UK wot wosint involved seems to find it hardur. I sposes wot they trys to imajin wot it wud be like.
ReplyDeleteEven for beards and ducks and baboons it is hard to have compassion sometimes. Sometimes it is hard to even want to have it. I admire creatures who do it well.
