A Bowl Of Bolognaise/The Killing Machine

I made a mistake recently. It was a small one; nothing of concern; but it has some significance. It seems that while I was getting food from the fridge, I saw a bowl of bolognaise resting on top of it, left by a forgetful housemate. I don't understand it myself, but I only had one thought, thinking "He left it out. Silly." Something along the lines of that. Later on that night after failing to get to sleep, I made my way to the fridge to get a drink and once again saw the bowl. Upon seeing it, I suddenly realised that before, I had not even thought of putting it in the fridge for the sake of my housemate. I was so surprised by this, wondering how on earth it did not occur to me. In defense however, my mind was heavy with falling ill and the awareness of missing opportunities just an hour or so before. But it does show that you should keep your mind clear as you may only miss more opportunities if you dwell on the past.

In any case, I just watched an interesting martial arts film called 'The Killing Machine' based (loosely) on Doshin So's life; the founder of Shorinji Kempo. It was a wonderful film giving me much inspiration regarding the philosophy of Shorinji Kempo. The story was deeply moving and you feel much respect for Doshin So as a result. Nevertheless, it was absolutely fantastic to see my martial art being portrayed in a feature length movie (despite very peculiar camera shot techniques!).
