Old Buddhist Humor on Timeless Human Greed
Check out this old comic, published in the Summer 1993 issue of Tricycle:
A good reminder in these Occupy Wall Street days that all of us, not just the 1%, are capable of greed.
...since (if you accept it) reincarnation continues in a kind of relentless Moebius strip, why did the author of this will limit himself merely to his initial "next life" ? He's not a first class hedge fund manager!!! And would not make it on MY Wall Street team!!
The answer is karma. It can relegate you as either a 99 %er or a 1 %er in any of your future lifetimes, not just the immediately following one. Call it the roll of the dice...unless you do something about it right now.
