Once again we see how every single one of our acts has a consequence, but some are good and others totally the opposite. A very good example is Erysichthon´s story. He used to be a very selfish and not-humble-at-all type of person, and that attitude lead him to thinking he could do anything he pleased and that made him have terrible consequences for his actions. We have to be careful for what we do, because even when we do something that seems to be so simple and with no importance at all, we have to remember that everything will have an outcome. Erysichthon cut down a tree and that led him to being punished for his actions and followed by Hunger until he wasn’t able to stop himself and practically committed suicide without noticing. This leads us to another teaching. We have to lay our passions and emotions aside and really concentrate for the things that really matter like family and friends.
Sometimes when we are deeply into something, we don’t notice what is happening with the ones around us. With the ones we love. Until we don’t realize what we are doing to them and at the same time to ourselves. If we don’t stop soon then it could be too late. Just like what happened to Erysichthon. He sold his mom for some coins, and that made him be left alone and with no chances of getting her back. I think we really have to pay more attention to our actions, because not only do they affect us and many others. Sometimes the consequences can be deadly.
