Long time ago, there was a shoemaker who lost one of his equipments. He suspected that it was his neighbour who stole his utensil. And his suspicious was growing as the day passed . Whenever his neighbour talked or stayed at home, this shoemaker couldn't help but getting more suspicious .
One day, there were few people came to see this neighbor. The shoemaker was even more suspicious. One day, this shoemaker was going to store his new made shoes into a cupboard. But when he opened it, all shoes fell out. When he picked up those shoes, he found the utensil that he's been looking for under the cupboard . In fact, he just realised that one of his workers must've put the utensil on the floor and accidentally kicked it. Finally, all of his suspicions and misunderstanding towards his neighbor are gone.
From this story, we can see that as a human being we need to have a strong foundation towards how to be a descent person and how to handle problems properly. One of the difficulties of being a human is to control emotions and desires. Upon that all, we have to have a stabilized mind.
On handling the problem, difficulty lays on how to make a decision under various circumstances where there are many conflicts involved . Therefore when we face a problem, suspicious is OK, but we should not be too emotional. Even more, we need to be more careful and able to distinguish right and wrong. Only when there is an evidence, we can make a decision and take action. Otherwise, a wrong decision might lead to a wrong action which could then harm ourself besides harming others and turn the problem into worst.
A wrong decision is like throwing a stone into the sea and it could never be retrieved back.
