Taking pleasure in causing suffering to others

In his student life, someone hid a student's shoes. He moved his lunch box. The one who couldn't find the item after school and wanted to go back was also stressed, and his belongings were stolen.

He was worried about the loss, and he was afraid that his parents would beat him. He searched for him and found him, and the later he found him, the more he felt sad. But the witch, who was watching from a hidden corner, was delighted to see the scene. If it had happened, the one who had abandoned him would have thought, “This guy must be really upset now.”

This trait, if you think about it normally, might seem like a simple act of joking around just to have fun. In fact, it is just a bad trait of a person who finds pleasure in seeing others suffer.

Many bad habits, such as tying a bar to a dog's tail and releasing it, catching a crow and cutting off its beak and releasing it, wiping fleas on a chair where someone else would sit, smearing ink on someone else's back, sending a letter, and so on, can later turn into a habit of deliberately causing others pain and suffering and taking pleasure in cold-blooded torture.

To rob, torture, and kill others for the sake of their property is a form of greed, anger, and cruelty. The kind of person who enjoys causing trouble to others without any benefit to himself or herself, and who is even more evil than a robber. However, there are many people who enjoy causing trouble to others. It is important to be aware of this.

You will find someone who misdirects someone and laughs at them. You will find someone who plots to make someone lose their job. You will also find someone who uses their power to create misery for others, thinking, “I’ll just suppress this account.” There are also those who are happy to see other people’s houses burn down. These people may be crazy or mentally ill. However, they are not completely devoid of human conscience. Their actions are inexcusable. They are just people who follow their own desires and do not know that their own nature is bad, and that they should be abandoned. They are against the law of moderation.

We must be careful and stay away from people with such bad habits. We must remove these bad habits from our bodies so that they do not become entangled.

Passion for debt

Usually, poor people have to borrow money to solve their problems before they have enough money to pay off their debts. Some people are afraid of debt because of the fear of debt and the anger and frustration of creditors. There are also those who try to save as much as possible and avoid debt except in times of death and emergency.

Debt is also an emergency solution that is relied on as a temporary help, based on the possibility of repaying it and the amount of money that one can afford. It is not a matter of whether one can repay it or not. There are people who take whatever debt they can get from whoever they can, thinking that if they need it for the time being, they will be satisfied and use it without any worries. There are those who take from one person and repay another, and then change hands with the creditors. There are those who bow down to the creditors' insults and curses, as the saying goes, "A debt is a wife who is not a wife." There are those who pay off old debts and take on new ones, and the cycle of debt continues. There are those who do not have the ability to repay the debt they take on, and they increase their debts, just like their grandfather's father, and they increase their debts. There are those who are not able to repay the debt, and they are burdened with debts.

In terms of debt, there are not only debts that do not help with the value of the debt, but also debts that are taken at exorbitant interest rates or by dividing the value of the debt by the exorbitant profit to cover the interest. If one gets into debt, it is difficult to get out of it, and one often ends up being overwhelmed by the debt and sinking.

There are those who would buy an elephant at the next market if they could just get credit. Whether they over-believe in their own strength and potential or are wrong, they end up in debt.

Life is painful because of it. Not only do we have to take on debt to eat and wear, but we also have to pay it off immediately. If we are to obtain good clothes, luxury goods, beauty, charity, and pleasures through debt, we will be miserable in life. We will not take on debt that we have to pay off.

If you borrow money and feed it, there will be people who will eat it. If you support it, there will be people who will support it. If you boast, there will be people who will applaud it. However, when you borrow money, those people will not come and help you. The king will not pay you when you borrow money. You will have to gird up your loins and pay off your debts. Not only will you pay exorbitant interest, like a debt slave, but when you are in debt, you will have to sell your belongings for a very high price, and you will be in trouble. If you develop a passion for borrowing, you will not be afraid of debt but will become brave. Therefore, you must also fight the tendency to take on debt easily and lightly.
