    executed. We couldn’t restrain her forever, and there was no way to exile her without endangering us further. And she was a murderer, with no remorse. She deserved to die,” I finished, trying to convince myself. “Many are content to let the universe handle such events without interference. Even some great yogis and philosophers may feel that humans have no place in judging or punishing others. But that view ignores the harm that may come from inaction. Refusing to kill a fly because life is sacred may lead to an outbreak of disease that will kill millions. Is the result of such inaction somehow more desirable that the momentary acceptance of an unpleasant action such as killing the fly? I think not. “I use this to illustrate a point,” she continued. “You say you cannot see the balance to which your actions may have led. I propose three benefits: “First, you have prevented further bloodshed by protecting your people, your ‘tribe’ if you will, from an individual who is clearly not enlightened, and who is acting on animal instinct alone. Such an individual is even more dangerous that the fly that carries disease, because they have the intelligence of a human and may cause much more harm than the unconscious actions of the insect.

What kind of gift is that.” “Think back to the question I asked you about religions. They all value awareness and acceptance of the consequences of one’s actions. This woman had no such awareness. She had done wrong, and was prepared to do further wrong, and did not accept the fact. She was in the lowest possible state a conscious being can attain. You, however cruel your actions may have felt, benefitted her greatly. You gave her the gift of enlightenment. She recognized her actions had harmed others, and in the last moments of her life, achieved a higher state of being. She chose to account for her wrongdoings herself, and punished herself, thereby removing the burden of retribution from you or someone else. Existence does not end with this life. It is eternal. If one may benefit for eternity from suffering in this life, it is to be greatly desired.” I was speechless. I sounded crazy at first blush, but I could see her point. I did have more pity for the woman, and even a tiny amount of respect, knowing she had come to a realization of some kind in the moments before she died, and chose to take her own life to atone for her ...
