I do believe there’s an unseen metaphysical link between the words or thoughts of others and their effect of events in our lives.

A couple of years ago, I think they caused me to fall flat on my face on the hard pavement, both pitting my skin with gravel and bruising my ego.

I believe that was the result of undue praise offered in my absence, or by my own conceit.

And just now: the bag that split as I collected my shopping from the car, scattering 5kg of Basmati rice onto the road.

Perhaps I congratulated myself too much for making a special diversion to buy it. Or perhaps it was the undeserved admiration of another.

Daily, whenever we get too full of ourselves, we are reminded of our reality.

May God make us humble and true, and spare us from a cause and effect which leads to serious harm.
