There was a guy who have been with his girlfriend for many years and they were very loving. When they were about to get married, the girl left him for another man. The guy broke down and became very depressed. He started to drink alot & neglected his work. One day when he was drinking, a monk passed by and spoke to him. The monk showed him a mirror which he could see a story happening in the olden times. The story talks about a girl who got drown in a river and her body floated to the shore. A fisherman passed by and saw her corpse. He pitied the girl and so he took off his shirt to cover the girl before going off. A second fisherman came by and decided to dig a hole to bury the girl. The guy who saw the mirror didn't understand the story. The monk explained to him that in his past life, he is actually the first fisherman and his girlfriend is the girl who got drowned. In their present life, she was with him for the few years to repay his kindness of covering her with his shirt. But now she has left to repay the second fisherman's kindness (who is her new boyfriend) cause what she owes him is much more than what she owes the guy.
Guess the moral of the story is to tell you that we are all here in this world for a purpose and the things that happen to us are for a reason. We may not know the reason but we should not get depressed easily and neglect the rest of the people or things in our life. We also should not forced things to happen if its not fated to be in that way. There are still some thing things that we have to leave to fate. There are bound to be some debts which we have incurred in our past life and we need to repay them in this life.
If this is really the case, then I think I probably already repaid 2 debts in my present life. The first one has been fully paid. Not sure about the second one but think I must have owe him alot in my past life. I hope that I can pay back all his kindness soon cause I certainly do not want to carry forward this to my next life.
