When "thought" leads to "action," things happen so fast that they don't catch up, but they have a big effect.

In the dimension of human life, what happens most quickly is not light, but "thought." In the blink of an eye, it has created a tremor that connects both principles, the nature of the brain, and social norms.

1.Mentality: The Parrot of Action

In Buddhism, "conscience," or mental karma, is the source of all things. Before the hand moves or the mouth mentions it, the mind must always "think" and "intent." A conscience that consists of only a fraction of a second, such as love, greed, anger, obsession, may seem like an abstract that no one can see, but in a natural way, it is to "lay a blueprint" for the acrobatics and the acrobatics that will follow, so the conscience is an energy accumulation that is ready to explode into life-changing actions in an instant.

2. Confirmation Bias: Catalyst for Thought to Become True

Psychologically, once the mind or mind is formed, the brain will immediately work through the Confirmation Bias (belief bias). If we are negative towards someone, the brain will look for bad behavior to reinforce our beliefs.

- Karma Cycle: Thinking that he is an enemy → The brain chooses to see only his threat (Confirmation Bias) → We respond with aggression (action).

This mechanism causes seemingly trivial thoughts to expand into deep-seated beliefs, resulting in some actions being taken "unexpectedly," because the brain deceives us, "That's the truth."

3. Legal intent: When an idea is proved with results.

When the idea comes to an act, "intent" immediately changes from private to public. In law, "intent" is an important element in the diagnosis of guilt.

- The law doesn't just look at what happened, but at the "Mens Rea" while acting.

- Despite how quickly the flashes occur, if the consequences are foreseen or deliberate, the law assumes that person is fully responsible for the consequences.

The horror is that a reinforced conscience with Confirmation Bias often leads to actions that the law views as "intentional to effect," which have penalties many times more severe than recklessness.

4. Big impact from small beginnings

What happens in the head for a few seconds can produce an irreparable effect:

- On a personal level: A single flush of anger leads to a false decision, to the loss of a job or relationship.

- On a social level: Confirmation Bias leads to verbal or physical abuse, which is legally binding.

Conclusion

Knowing your "mind" is more important than catching others because it is our real-life "risk management." Practicing mindfulness to stop low-level thoughts will help break up the Confirmation Bias cycle from becoming illegal and moral.

"Beware of thought, for it shall become a word; beware of speech, for it shall become a deed; and beware of action, for it shall determine the course of our life."
