its hard to adhere to your precepts and morality in this insane
and immoral world isnt it. when you adhere to your precept in not
drinking and smoking in social gathering, people will tease and
make fun of you, as useless, no fun, so serious, nerdy, come on
drink just for this instance, not like asking you to drink every
water, come on you are a guy, drink up please.
any comments esp if you are a practising buddhist. people must
think you are boring to be a good person.
You are right. However, consider this: You are here today because
of your past karma. You are able to go for social gathering because
in the past, you have accumulated enough of the karma. Going
forward, whatever happens to you depends on what you have done in
the past and what you are doing now. If you break the precepts now,
you will accumulate bad karma and therefore, you will have more
negative experience.
