An age where bad guys survive happily

Excuse me for the long sentence. There are things in my life that I just can't be convinced of.

It was at a large clothing store. This store gets crowded on weekends.

I decided to go by car for the first time in a while. The parking lot was still as crowded as ever.

Then, a very strange car, which looked like it had been remodeled from a large foreign car, broke in, and somehow parked in the priority parking lot for people with disabilities right in front of the store. What came out of it was a blond jersey family with an underdeveloped frontal lobe and a poor head, and the children were also blond. I also littered cigarettes on the spot.

We were finally able to park after that, and we were able to enter the store, but a car with a disability mark came, and it was so distressing that we couldn't park it because a large non-remodeled car was parked where it was supposed to be parked, and I thought about handing over the place I had just parked, but since it was far from the entrance of the store, there were other cars lined up, so we gave up because of difficulties. I almost felt crushed by my sins.

Somehow they chose something to buy at the store, and when they were lined up at the cash register, the blonde family I saw earlier was checking out. Then, it seems that they were running a campaign at that store, and I was very happy to win a cash register lottery that I rarely win, and I was very happy to win a gift certificate. Then, I got in the car I had parked for people with disabilities mentioned earlier, scattered the others with loud music, and went home.

Who will punish them? They don't feel guilty about themselves, and they don't even notice their actions. People who are kind to others can judge guilt, so it becomes so painful, and they also feel guilty, but that's not the case with them. That's because I don't even notice it.

Not limited to this example, I think the world is such a place. There are also punishments for people who always think about things around and have morality and a will to give up, and people who don't have that common sense or nothing have no guilt, so even if they don't do bad things without feeling fine, they don't know, or they feel superior to others, so there's no choice but to be happy. So there are only good things for the person himself.

Is this the world?

Pleasure and happiness

When I went shopping at the hardware store, I saw a similar situation (parking lot case) and felt very infuriated, and I understand your feelings very well.
In the case of the questioner, they even watched that they won the lottery after that, so they probably felt a strong sense of unfairness.

But I think so.
I think the happiness that such people feel is limited to momentary and hedonistic things, that is, animal-like joy without depth.
Also, since they are a very egocentric race, I think they are unreasonably angry and feel stressed without permission.

I think the level of happiness felt by such people is different from the deep sense of happiness felt by people who are kind, moral, and serious.

The joy of being appreciated by others, the joy of being praised, the joy of being recognized. Sometimes I feel a sense of emotion that makes my heart tremble when I work so hard to do something.
I even feel sorry for people who live a way of life where they can't feel this kind of joy.

What do you think, questioner?

Wonderful bad taste, trembling Mirai

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

In Buddhism, since it explains the idea of reincarnation and karma, there is a causal redemption theory of good cause, good effect, and bad cause and bad effect. Acts (body/speech/intention) motivated by anguish caused by ignorance, which is fundamental ignorance, are accumulated in mental inheritance as bad work and potential (habit/behavior) that will later bring bad results.

The consequences of this accumulation of bad work continue in this world with “sequential student acceptance,” which receives the results in the next student, and “sequential acceptance” where the results are received in the next student... and “sequential acceptance” in the next student... but it does not mean that the results of bad work immediately appear in that person, and it is just that several conditions and causes are intricately intertwined, and various results are received depending on causation (luck).

Therefore, as long as those who accumulate bad karma have the potential (habit) to bring about the results of that miswork remains, they will always receive evil effects not only in this life, but also in the next life, so even if you can certainly see momentary and hedonic (within the secular/worldly eight laws) joy that suits that person, as stated by Urakami Tetsuya, there is no need to be particularly happy and worried, and the joy we should aim for is good virtue correct according to Buddhism There must be true joy and happiness due to merit.

In order to prevent us from receiving the consequences of bad karma, we must destroy the potential (practice) of bad karma by suppressing worry, eliminating ignorance, and accumulating definite good deeds through the development of reliable wisdom (kaihotsu) based on Buddhism and the practice of true good deeds. Even if it is absolutely impossible in this life, it is hoped that they will continue to be born with good intentions where they can maintain a state of being somehow connected with Buddhism in the next life and the next, so that they can aim for enlightenment, and eventually, they can finish completely eliminating ignorance, worry, and bad work, and make adjustments so that they can reach enlightenment.

I sincerely pray that Mirai, who has a wonderful bad taste, and everyone in the blond jersey family will eventually bring the light of enlightenment to all sentient beings.

Punishment at the same time

Hello, Terrible Mirai, who has a wonderful bad taste.

Unfortunately, they are being punished at the same time. For example... even if they think “huh, that's a good feeling” or “lucky,” they get frustrated right away. When the gaze from someone like you doesn't go the way you want in your daily life, it's a drop after something lucky happened. They don't feel safe.
why?
This is because they don't feel guilty about themselves, and they don't even notice their actions.

Not limited to this example, I think the world is like that. There are punishments that “can be aware of” for people who always think about things around and have morality and a will to give up, and people who don't have that common sense or nothing have no guilt, so even if they don't do bad things without it, they don't know, or they feel superior to others, so they can't help being happy”, but they can't be relieved.”

Which one do you prefer?

Let's make this guy (myself) the one who is the problem

When I was young, there was a time when I got angry and complained about so-called “bad guys” as you would say.
My master kept silent and listened to the situation.
When the story is over,

“... and since a while ago, I didn't like ◯◯
You're saying bad things about guys like ◯◯, aren't you? Okay, listen carefully.
Who's causing the problem?
Who cares about that? ”
“...!” 〈boo〉

“Okay, a lot of people do that and only say bad things about their partner,
I've spent so much time justifying and arguing for myself.
... So no matter how long it's been, I can't focus on the essential “improvement of my own mind.”
While you're doing that, no matter how much you think you're dressed as an Osho and doing ascetic practices, it's not Buddhism.”

⭐ Buddhism is not about changing others; it is about being disturbed by others, looking at one's own state of mind that is hostile or problematic, and getting peace of mind for a lifetime when the mind is not affected by that thing (personalization does not occur) ⭐

“I'm worried about you're not here right now,
The ◯◯ thing must have been a problem.
However, that opponent, ◯◯, isn't here right now.
Maybe they're sleeping, maybe they're laughing while watching TV,
Maybe he's going to the bathroom.

Really, what you should be concerned about isn't about the outside or the ◯◯ thing.
“You yourself,” who cared about ◯◯ and caused problems and commotion, is the only problem.

It may seem as if the problem is outside or on the other person's side,
No matter how far you go, it's all just you who are making trouble with people.

So, everything that others look like is within and above my own person. Remember that everything is your own self.” 👉 I live my whole life
〈For example, there are times when I hate people, and even when my opponent isn't there, I do sumo wrestling all by myself.〉

The teacher didn't show any cheap sympathy.
More important than that, he showed me the core point leading to a fundamental solution to all problems, the way Buddhist practice should be.
“The problem is our own thoughts, not our partner.”

Person with a Soul Handicapped

Even at shopping centers near me, there are people who can proudly park in a space for people with disabilities, as my consultant has witnessed. I think, “It can't be helped, because my soul has a disability,” but...

I feel sorry for people who litter trash by the roadside because they can't understand trash cans and public morals even when they become adults. However, I think the day will come when such people will notice it too. Until that day, I'll keep an eye on you with people who notice you.

Who is punishing him? However, they have been punished quite a bit when their hair is blond and the whole family is forced to walk outside in jerseys. If it were me, I would start crying.
They have obstacles, and they have been punished in their own way. There's nothing to worry about, Terrifying Mirai, who has a wonderful bad taste!
