Being Vigilant of Our Thoughts
In a group, the thoughts of each individual can greatly impact the group as a whole.
In the past, people living in the countryside would store water in large ceramic pots. After letting it settle overnight, there would be clear water to drink the next morning. If a child were to stir the pot with a stick for the fun of it, the water would become dirty and unsuitable for drinking.
From this we can see how in a moment of carelessness, an individual may cause trouble for many people.
Therefore, in interacting with others and handling matters, we must constantly be vigilant and have self-discipline.
