do you ever wonder how many deaths you've been indirectly responsible for? I often think about it. at my job I sometimes work at a hospital with patients who are elderly or are immunocompromised and a few weeks ago I came in to work after calling off the last few days because of a nasty cold/sinus infection and it made me think about the fact that my very presence could cause the death of someone in this place. not only that but how often in our life's do we go out in public with a cold or while sick and interact with someone that could get sick and die or spread the illness to someone else who could indirectly cause their death?
there are many more examples I can think of that are not just from being sick whether you are someone working on a car and unknowingly make a mistake that causes a car crash that results in a death. or if its words spoken or unspoken that effect someone so much which cause someone to take their own life?
one very specific example I've lived through in which I believe resulted in me indirectly killing someone was when I was growing "herbal medicine" in a secluded clearing in the woods near my house. at the time I was still very new to the practice and when I water the plants I would take water out of a small plastic pool that the ducks I had as pets at the time would swim around and poop in. id take the water and pour it directly over the plant itself instead of watering it at the base like I know I should have down now.
anyway, a day before I was going to harvest the plant someone came and stole it from the woods, I don't know who it was but I do know that if I was going to harvest and smoke it then the poop water I used to pour over the plant would most definitely result in me getting horribly sick. I also know if the person who did steal it intended to smoke the plant; they most assuredly got ill as well.
so how many people do you think you've indirectly killed through your actions? is there any specific examples you can think of?
