Siebe:
‘If everybody becomes so reserved before acting, things become unnatural’.
and..
‘Please imagine a world in which there is no spontaniety anymore but everybody reflects on any deed before acting.’
Rashness, unmindfulness, thoughtlessness, heedlessness.. these we call the spontaneity we should have applied when our actions through the opposites of those qualities did not bring about the desired result.
Is this what you are getting at?
“…suffering does not arise only due to our actions, but there is the mind of the other person too.”
It is true that ‘we are all connected’, so our thoughts must affect others, as much as those of others must affect ours, but HOW INTENSE AND PROLONGED must they be to bring into doubt what Lal says that ‘we cannot SIGNIFICANTLY affect another by our thoughts’
