Karmic Power and the Unconscious

Sometimes I wonder why some normally nice people could be rude to some people they that they dislike. Why is it that some people could never be friends. 

In this video,  Master Sheng Yen shared shared that sometimes how we behave could be because of karmic power that affect us unconsciously. 

I try to be mindful and think first before I react angrily as I remind myself of Right Speech. To be kind and refrain from speaking if I have nothing nice to say. 

As the host shared, if we act on the whim of out unconscious and its underlying karma, we will forever be mired in the cycles of cause and effect.
