Everything you do has a ripple effect.
A man sees a poisonous spider.
A man is merciful, so he leaves it outside. He says to it, 'here you go, my friend. For there is no one to blame you are poisonous.'
The spider goes, and lives its life in the garden.
It lives peacefully and kills all the other bugs.
Another man sees a poisonous spider. He kills it and says, 'Good riddance.'
That's it, there's nothing to it. An innocent life is gone. The man killed the poisonous spider just because it was born poisonous. It wasn't the spiders fault. How cruel?
Now, the poisonous spider lives a year and finds a mate in the man's garden. The spider and it's mate has a bountiful children in the fortnight.
Later, the man's child goes to pick a tomato off the vine. The spider bites his child, the child falls in ravenous pain. The man runs out, and sees a swarm of poisonous spiders biting his child. The man brushes off the child and swears to the spider,
'Damn you! I saved your life and you hurt my child. I let you stay on my land and now you attack my family!'
The man rushes his child to the hospital, and his child dies. His child says before his death, as the man sobs, 'It's okay dad. It's how the spider is. It didn't know the harm it was causing.'
Here we have two men: one man who spares a spider, and one who kills it. Our actions at the moment we enact them can seem pure -- softhearted. But in the end, they can hurt someone else.
So now I ask you, right now. What would you do? Would you kill an innocent to save the world? Would you think of the future generations and try going green for the world?
Doing one small action can change your life.
