What happens when you accidentally walk in on somebody stealing money from the cookie jar?
Instant Meditation
This urgent incident calls for an emergency meditation. What do you do? The thief has seen you. What do you say?
Compassion is the key. You can ask the thief why they are stealing money. You can tell the thief to return the money and you won’t talk about it to anybody.
If you want to help, ask the thief if they want to borrow money from you but they must promise to return it. You must also be aware that generally, people don’t keep promises and money is a commodity that people seldom return.
There can be many types of other responses but it depends on you, your beliefs, experiences, culture, & etc.
