Friends:

Thought solidifies into Kammically effective Behaviour!

The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests into acted out behaviour!
The deed develops into habit, which hardens into deeply ingrown stubborn character!
So watch the thought, and its ways with care, and let it spring from infinite friendliness;
Born out of kindness for all sentient beings. May all beings become thus Happy :-) _/\_

Ignorance leads to ego, Ego leads selfishness,
Selfishness leads to aversion, Aversion leads to anger,
Anger leads to hatred, Hatred leads to Suffering…

The creator of man was greed; For countless lives this was his drive.
With Ignorance at its helm, this suffering grows! No end for it until he knows...
