Remember the TV series Kung Fu starring David Carradine? Did you ever wonder, with all his spiritual knowledge and physical abilities, why it was so necessary for him to be so poverty stricken?
Okay, he made some vows to be free, without any attachment to selfish desires or worldly goods. So he walked around from place to place, wandering aimlessly. Sure, he had some adventures. And he kicked a LOT of ass during his “peaceful” wanderings. But imagine how much more effective he could have been to help people if he created a home for himself and let word-of-mouth bring truth-starved people to him! He could have easily formed an army of peace-loving people.
He seemed to be a fantastic guy, didn’t he?
He always help people in need. His knowledge was deep. He expressed peace and love and respect. He lived with nature. And again, he could kick ass (in self defence, of course). The bad guys always had it coming. The Kung Fu TV series writers obviously had to incorporate some cool fighting scenes for entertainment purposes. Fair enough. The more Kung Fu fighting, the more people will watch the TV series.
But you have to wonder: Why was he always defending himself?
With all his wisdom, you would think he could have easily overcome the “bad guy’s” aggression without using force. Sort of like the guy from Star Wars: “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Move along”.
Usually, when a person is constantly being picked on, there’s a good reason. Perhaps some people attract bullies. Whatever the reason, a person always attracts what they expect and feel they deserve. Once in a blue moon something unexpected happens, like a freak occurrence.
Like getting struck by lightening. It happens. Something might fall off a roof and you just happen to be standing right under it, the wrong place at the wrong time.
Where would the Kung Fu TV Series guy be today?
In present day reality, we can easily agree that a person like the Kung Fu TV series guy would have a very easy time TODAY making money by helping and guiding people, and he could charge some serious money for his acquired experience and well-earned practical knowledge.
If he was here today, with the help of the Internet, it is pretty possible that he’d be quite wealthy in a very short period of time (and he could use the Internet to reach people, instead of doing all that dangerous walking from place to place) and without being broke all the time!
The Motto of this Story?
We all love a strong character, especially when this character selflessly helps needy people and never asks for anything in return. We all secretly fantasize about being the ultimate hero. The difficulty arises when we expect to give and give and give without receiving, receiving, receiving. If you give and expect nothing in return, you are in violation of Nature.
We all love these ultra good characters, especially the Kung Fu TV series guys, but let’s be very careful not to let their Kunk Fu TV series personalities (and their god-like behaviour) sink into our subconscious minds. Being broke sucks. And giving without expecting to receive sucks even more!
