An Eye for An Eye Makes the Whole World Blind

Can you imagine I was more shocked than mad when my neighbour vomited from his bedroom window and his vomit splashed onto my window pane, onto my cushion and my laptop!!! Eeek!

I screamed upward to him: "WA LIEW!!! WA LIEW, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" (Wa liew is the slang for wa lau, which has origin in wa lan, which is a profanity referring to the penis). I don't know, but it was a reflex verbalization that came to me at the point in shock. I rushed to the kitchen to fetch a bottle of water to flush away the debris and cleaned my windows and I made like one dozen trips back and forth. The whole time I shouted at him saying:"DO YOU WANNA COME AND CLEAN IT! DO YOU WANNA COME AND CLEAN MY WINDOWS?!"

There is no anger in me, I was only flustered that he was so inconsiderate to do it at his convenience. For a man like this, I only had sympathy. I heard him coughing away, so I thought he must be suffering from one of his over drinking. This guy is most probably a Malaysian cos he speaks with an M'sian accented Mandarin in a loudmouth manner. He often has several Chinese Nationals girlfriends in his home at any one time. I think he either doesn't work or works at night as he is always seen leaving home at night. Though he fits the profile of a pimp, I have no evidence he is one.

While cleaning, I tried to summon some hate-thoughts to hope that one day the neighbour above him will do the same to him, but I couldn't summon that intention. It just wouldn't come. In fact, I was hoping he would be fine. Oh, what contrary I face.

I called Brendan to tell him there is a portion of the window I couldn't reach, there are streaks of vomit that are not new but maybe a few days old! To think that I had been sleeping with his vomit is disgusting. Brendan said maybe he is sick. I said ya, let's send him love.

Gosh. I surprise myself sometimes.

In Reiki, we learn to send love. The more the person behaves badly, the more he needs it actually.

There is not an ounce of anger in me, of course I am upset that I am cleaning up a stranger's vomit. I could only hope he doesn't do it again cos if he really does, I will have to invite him to my home to clean up his mess.
