There are
these three basic commandments for our spiritual progress and wisdom called the
three wise monkeys; "See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil."
The
question is what can we look at now? The trouble of turning blind eyes to
others’ misconduct is not the true sign of good conduct I guess. Its like
"ignoring" it. It moreover tells one to "refrain" from looking
at things that may cause sin to somebody and not caring what the hell others do.
I think
this is the time to see more, hear more, and speak more. It isn't what we
'absorb', but what we 'produce from ourselves' that pollutes our souls. By not
seeing, not hearing, not speaking evil,.. then nothing of the same Evil shall
be generated from us. We must restrain from watching dirty movies, uttering
dirty words, or any undesired activities.
Evil has
many interpretations. The baseline of all is to protect us/our souls from
ourselves. Life is how you see it, I think. If you want it to be happy and
beautiful, you must see the beauty in everything you experience. You read
beautiful books so that you have a beautiful mind. Just like the laughing Buddha,
three wise monkeys are feng shui to better living.
Eddie
Murphy said it best in Brooklyn Vampire, “If there was no evil you would never know
what good is, right? So evil is GOOD.”
Interesting wisdom and aptly put into action and explanation in itself...thanks
