Chapter 388 Nobody Owes Anyone

Causality has always existed; it's just that each person perceives causality differently, even when it concerns the same matter, the notions of cause and effect can vary.

Take the young girl, for instance. She believed she couldn't be affectionate and dutiful by her parents' side because she was born a female, which from birth created a debt of cause. And her parents' plot to take her life, leading her to her current dire straits, was also because she was born female. She believed all causes traced back to her being female, to owing a debt.

Yet another cause, for the aunty who gave up a lifetime to serve as the foundation for her five cycles of reincarnation, was that she had accidentally disturbed her grave, disrupting her peace -- so the aunty owed her. This was probably related to customs and traditions, for people generally believe that burial allows the deceased to rest in peace, whereas disturbing a grave does not.
