[QUOTE="autistic_tendencies, post: 12638, member: 139"] From this Tibetan book: The story serves as a warning about how our choices and emotional responses can lock us into degraded states of being. In this story, the victim actually creates more negative energy than the criminal by generating the intense and extremely damaging emotions of anger and suspicion. I had a friend who lived this story when his bike was stolen. He had no idea who would do such a thing and began to suspect many people. He also became noticeably upset, angry, and agitated. I told him the story of the three lower realms and reminded him that he really didn't know who stole the bike and should be careful not to let negative emotions escalate through anger and suspicion. The theft is one piece of bad karma, but suspecting ten people is like creating ten pieces of bad karma. Without care and awareness, the negative emotional involvement of the victim can outstrip that of the crimi-nal. In this case, my friend told me that when he finally let go of his anger and his bike, he got his bike back through others who found and returned it to him. [/QUOTE]
