In the foot prints of BUDDHA Chapter5
Chapter-5 Ten Evil Acts
Evils enumerated in the Buddhist scriptures are ten.
Three physical evils of killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct;
the four verbal evils of lying, flattery or indiscriminate and irresponsible speech, defamation, and duplicity;
and the three mental evils of greed, anger, and foolishness or the holding of mistaken views.
Killing - an act of causing death, especially deliberately, taking the life of a sentient being.
People often kill theirs or other's innocent life during the struggles or vengeance. If they can be strong in killing, they're always strong enough to face life.
Stealing - take without permission or legal right and without intending to return it which actually isn't yours, committing theft, fraud or robbery.
Stealing the valuables and identities have become common now-a-days especially secretly or forcefully.
Sexual misconduct- encompassing any unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature that is committed without consent or by force, intimidation, coercion, or manipulation, engaging in sexual activity outside marriage.
We cannot even talk about this because in recent times it's called love making and I wish that the partners are truly in love without faking it just for their pleasures of skin or instincts or urges and with consent of each other. But what is this society doing with so called rapists still living among them?
Lying - assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone, reversing right and wrong or speaking contrary to one's thinking.
Every silly excuse people mention is a lie but what is the purposeful deceiving called then? The biggest the lie, the more you hide the truth, the more lies builds in and digs a temporary grave to the truth. One day it explodes like a volcano burning all your relationship. Why can't we face things as if they really are, if we care so much about lying to the person we care about.
Flattery or indiscriminate and irresponsible speech- making speech that is ornate, fattering, mocking others for pleasure; composing songs or music associated with worldly desire and passion, or writing books that stir lust or covetousness. If people do care about flattery words, they don't even bother to argue yet a lot of people flirts with atleast one and they enjoy it and they love to engage in desires and passion. Atleast, we could wish it should be truthful and loyal to their own companion. Stirring enmity or sowing dissension. Challenging is ability. Convincing is skill. Compromising is humble. When you can convince and hold them in your life, why do you challenge them? When you can compromise with love for each other's happiness, what's the point of breaking the talk or become an enemy when you can smile and befriend them.
Defamation - false and unprivileged statement of fact that is harmful to someone's reputation, speaking dirty, abusive words, or slandering or insulting others.
Oh there's a right to speech but is there a space for false statements where people are truly trying to spoil other's reputation? There's no point of humiliating or hurting others even if they give you a reason for it, be great enough to ignore and hold to your peace.
Duplicity- deceitfulness, dishonest talk or behaviour, especially by saying different things to two people.
How could someone enjoy stealing someone's identity by just faking like the one who's not actually in his/her own personality. Contradictory doubleness of thought, speech, or action the simplicity and openness of their lives by being deceitful.
Greed - intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food, having unbounded desires and never being satisfed.
There isn't an endless point and urge of having more is greed feeling that it's never enough. Greed of money and other pleasures may be an evil act but still I think I'm greed of peace and happiness.
Anger - strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility, raging against others or resenting them.
Is provoking a reason too?
The one who supports fight and the one who's neutral always causes troubles. The one who condemns it, is the one who's thoughtful. The one who burns themselves in anger, sometimes lit their own life and never notices. Why not give it away to keep ourselves away from the sufferings?
Foolishness - lack of good sense or judgement, lacking wisdom, lack of sense, ill-considered, unwise, a foolish action, a foolish speech, lacking forethought or caution, sticking to skewed views, disbelieving karma
and the cycle of rebirth.
Ignorance is bliss when you can do it to the negative things and it's sin when you can't accept the facts and realties of the life.
