so there's these mice living in this mansion, right? they've been there for several generations, all the while getting along with the human family just fine.

and the mice are like, "say what?"
and the wise buddhist mouse guru says, "your own teeth are the cause of all your sorrow. if you had just eaten from the garbage instead of chewing holes in the wall and the sacks of rice in the pantry, then the owner never would have had to get a cat to protect his home from you."
and the mice are like, "oh snap!"
the end.
whether you care or not, i'm going to tell you about this, haha. buddhists believe in this thing called "dependent origination". meaning, nothing exists in isolation, independent of itself. or in other words, change yourself, change your environment. it's a very empowering way of looking at things. all of this shit "happening to you" can be affected if you work on elevating yourself to a higher lifestate. so instead of feeling helpless, work on changing yourself for the better. try and figure out what am "I" contributing to this situation that makes things like this happen to me? don't really have anything to lose anyway.
