In the Christian tradition, when JC came back to Jerusalem, and saw the moneychangers outside his father’s house, He immediately casts them out in probably one of his first acts of violence towards his fellow man. He has taken action towards what is perceived as evil by himself, but seemed to everyone "status quo" at the time.
I’m sure someone else had seen what was happening around the temple before but did nothing towards solution.

The Sin of Inaction or what in the Catholic Church is called the Sin of Omission, (well, the sin of omission has a wider scope but it applies at this time) The failure to take action to defeat evil is sin. (I’m not even going to explain what sin is… Let’s use the more gentler word: "ethics".) Doing nothing to stop a wrongdoing being committed to a fellow being is "Unethical".

It is not enough simply to do good, we must also take action against unethical practices being committed by ourselves and others towards our fellow beings and to the mother earth, our environment. We have for so long taken for granted each other and the place we live that it has become the "norm", the "status quo". We have become blinded of the ‘evil’ that we and others are perpetrating towards our brothers and sisters and to our ‘Mother’. "Taking for granted". That is the sentence to reflect upon.

What can we do to prevent the Sin of Omission? Well, we might not be able to cleanse the world governments’ corrupt political system in a day, but each of us can start small.. A wise friend has once told me.. "Baby steps, to learn to walk."
That little plastic candy wrapper that you just tossed at the side of the road, seems trivial now but is clogging the planet’s water systems, creating pollution, we need to be mindful of the little things and all the big things that we do to ourselves and to each other. Preventing unnecessary suffering as much as humanly possible to all beings. We cannot freeload and treat our ‘Mother’ like a giant trash can. Pay your taxes. Wear your safety belt. Raise your kids properly, give them hugs and kisses. And recycle. We all need a change of lifestyle, We cannot live in this world as if we have a disposable planet. Maybe one day we might be able to live on other planets but the same thing will happen.. If we do not start now, we will leave in our wake a string of dying worlds. Then we will be no better than a plague spreading across the known universe and raping each planet as we pass by.

Please take action, pick up your trash, Do it.

It hurts me… this pain that I feel inside, the longing that I feel. .is so strong…

It drives me crazy… I have always had this… this feeling before… the point where it is more than just jealousy… I have nurtured this negative feeling and it has come back to me now… again… Like an old friend, it knows how to push the right buttons and anger grows… doubt… hatred.. loneliness… fear… Why?

The person that I cared for has not changed… nor does the situation. What is wrong is what’s inside me. This destructive feeling.. This child that I have fed for so long… will need to grow up and stop its tantrums. You will not do this to me now. This child has hurt the ones I cared for by my reactions to the negative feelings that I felt. This child has driven me to paranoia long enough, but never more.
The third eye, helps us see ourselves in the third person, the detached mind, the impartial observer, the third eye gives us the point of view to clearly see what eludes us. It is hard sometimes to see the mountain when you are standing on it.

If all this is confuses you… do not worry.. unless you are in the situation I have just mentioned, then all of this may seem absurd… But trust me it all works out fine.

P.S.: By being able to look at yourself impartially as a separate being, you can analyze what emotions are being brought about, why those emotions are there, what’s causing them, realizing that the beloved has not caused the hurt but the message that they have imparted seems to have done so. Still more, if you reflect upon it, then you realize that the message cannot be the problem… It is the receiver who must change, for the receiver seems to be who is greatly effected by the message.. which were merely words… nothing more. The beloved has not changed, they have not done the wrongdoing. It is merely the illusion built up by not reflecting upon the message. I hope this helps.
