“I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was good thought; the second, a good word; and the third a good deed.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Deed is a level-headed kwami and thinks a lot about what happened, is happening, and will happen. It tries to be neutral about these thoughts but can’t help itself and be pessimistic. Sometimes they get overwhelmed, but Imaa is always there to pull them back into reality.
Powers:
True Colors- Ability to see through illusions and magical objects. Its usage is shown by a yellow glowing ring around the holder's eyes.
Debug- Reverts a person to their original form and rids the effects of subjection-based magic.
Resin- Covers an area in a dome where magic cannot be cast.
That fear of doing bad deeds won’t arise unless we listen extremely seriously to the law of cause and effect.
Some would claim that Pure Land Shin Buddhists fully understand this, but actually, we don’t. We still blame others and assume we can do what we want as long as others don’t see us.
Unless you listen to the law of cause and effect very carefully, the fear of doing bad deeds won’t arise, and nor will the drive to work hard at doing good deeds regardless of whether others see you or not. If you really strive to do good, not just superficially or because you want to be thought well of by others, but as a genuine act of giving, you are made to see the deplorable, calculating, greedy nature of your own thoughts.
Indeed, “we make effort to do good deeds yet cannot do them.” This is what is made clear to us when we practice seriously and try to correct our thoughts: We cannot do good deeds in a true sense. You won’t realise this if you don’t actually listen to Buddhism and put what you’ve heard into practice.
He sighed noisily, and realized finally that he was on Trantor at last; on the planet which was the centre of all the Galaxy and the kernel of the human race. He saw none of its weaknesses. He saw no ships of food landing. He was not aware of a jugular vein delicately connecting the forty billion of Trantor with the rest of the Galaxy. He was conscious only of the mightiest deed of man; the complete and almost contemptuously final conquest of a world.
Where There is a will
there is a will
to search and discover
a better day
Where a positive heart
is all you need
to rise beyond
and succeed
Where young minds grow
and respect each other
based on their deeds
and not their color
when times are dim
say as I say
"Where there's a will
there's a way!
🌌 Постарайтесь понять, что не существует единственного для всех будущего. Их много, и каждый ваш поступок творит какое-нибудь из них… Вы это поймёте. Вы это обязательно поймёте…
*Try to understand that there is no one-size-fits-all future. There are many of them, and each of your actions creates one of them… You'll understand that. You will definitely understand this…
