打小人, is it a sin?

[Lchlch]

Its a sin only if you caused actual harm to others. Otherwise it's like letting off steam. Also depends what illwill you wish or curse upon the 'enemy'. Curse them die prolly got terrible karma. Wish them go out get caught in rain chopstick always use tombalek and randomly step on dog poop, maybe not a sin just comic relief.

Bro, I did not wish those above.
I just wish those small people go far far away from me.
That's all.

 

[spinning_quirK]

Yes bro.
Not easy to bless them to be good towards people.
When we got stab by small people, the anger inside us like volcano eruption.

Most human evil is done out of ignorance.

Ignorance of:
1) Hell
2) Divine justice
3) Self pride
4) Community living
5) Jesus

But for average humans like me, just knowing this is insufficient. I'm still suffering from people's idiocy and malice leh, tmd. Just like being exposed to the sun gives a good tan, only by being close to Jesus can I manage to love and care those who frankly deserve none of my love and care.

This one of course not sin la. Don't think so much, change the people around you, change environment, or change way of thinking. I like the latter, I take such people as a test of my character.

It is very tormenting as you wanted to mind own business but still they want to kick your arse, then happy.
And it really destroy your day and worst is go home quarrel with family members...
See how those small people whack a person inner peace...

You have to find your inner peace amidst the external and even homely chaos. I can't give you much advice but you need to learn how to zone out these 'noise'. Its neverending, the world is full of such things.

That's why I mentioned change way of thinking/ perspective. Half cup full or empty Yada Yada. Family, sadly you can't change, but either learn some conflict resolution tactics or just totally ignore. You're not a bad son/ brother if you ignore their quarrels.

We usually pray 虎爷 for protection against 小人.

Do you say out the 小人 name?
Or print his photo n whack n stomp with your shoe before burn it?

don't 打小人. will 折寿 one.
when i say "寿" is not purely in terms of lifespan, but also in terms of your personal luck, wellbeing, personal karma.

cos the person who treats u like shiet may either be:
1) Because of your past encounter with him, result of your karma ripening. If u "beat" him, you are punishing him spiritually and you are just trying to force the result of your past karma away. The karma will spring back with double the vigour.

2) The person may not really be a 小人 but he's treating u like shiet because of your own actions.

you beat 小人 end up u beat urself.

3) He may appear to treat u like shiet, but actually he's trying to help u. but not only u (because u are really the a-hole) are unable to see his perspective but worse, u are treating him as a 小人 because he didn't say things to soothe your bruised ego.

this is the actual rationale why some older and wiser people say "打小人不好，小心打到自己。" But these old ppl probably lazy to explain properly, rationalize it into point form for u, or maybe "they also hear the same saying without rationalization, so they pass on".

yah. still think ppl are the a-holes? go take a long deep hard look at yourself first.

Also out of self greed and to be the best and can't afford others to be the best.

It is a domino effect
Small people distrub you.
Your inner peace rocked.
Things fallen apart.
You unknowingly quarrel with family.
Heated quarrel...

Thks for your input.
Appreciate that.
Yeah I see many do this on tiger bday.
Stuck those red paper on the board.
But if just say beat small people without specifically write the name, is it OK?

 

[Elnoxv]

At work always hv those small people.
Tough life.

The Chinese proverb says:

"怨怨相报何时了"

It can feel unfair and even make us angry when we perceive others are trying to harm us. We might wonder what we did wrong. However, from a broader perspective, the issue may not be about this life alone. Given the countless lifetimes we have traversed in samsara, it’s possible that in a past life, we caused harm to those who are now affecting us.

This cycle of harm and retaliation could have been ongoing for many lifetimes. The doctrine of Dependent Origination in Buddhism teaches that everything is conditioned by other factors and that all events arise and cease due to various causes and conditions. This includes both positive and negative experiences.

Our current bad experiences may indeed be the result of our past actions, and we may unknowingly perpetuate these feuds.

And now is probably the best time to break this cycle. It is not easy, but with strong faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, we can cultivate patience, forgiveness, endurance and wisdom to overcome these challenges and stop the cycle of negativity.

As some thoughts.

you don't have to write name.

ur mind already imprint the name liao.
writing the name is just 世人's way of introducing the physical humiliation portion.

if u decide to go ahead and beat, that's ur choice, your action and consequences are yours and yours alone to bear.

Thanks for your thoughts.
I am trying.
Most of the time, I just ignore n mvr talk back.
Like last 2 days, the small people mentioned my name, saying lch mistakes, in front of my lead.
I just keep quiet n endure with silent.
But constantly picking at you can be very tormenting.
But I will try to keep quiet n font reply.
Sigh...

So fay many years, I think mord than 15 years nvr do this anymore.

I just pray those small people stay away from me. That's all.

Actually it is not put the curse on small people, rather it is to beat them n chase them away from us n not to disturb us.
