Have you ever accidentally harmed another living being while going about your day? Do you think being sad about that somehow makes up for it a little bit? What if you listen to a song about it and you reflect on tiny bits of guilt you’d been storing up, allowing them to pool together (perhaps into the shape of a single salty tear)? Well, regardless of whether the karmic structuring of universal truth and energy is a valid concept or not, you should watch this video about a crushed turtle by Crumb. It starts out sad (the title is a pretty solid hint), but it ends really well for the turtle and so - extending its deliverance from suffering outward, because all separation between living beings is/might be an illusion - it ends well for all of us, too.
