The one where you shoot at yourself


Archer comes along and strikes an arrow into another man. does that man who gets hit  would get hurt?  Of course it hurts. 

If the Archer strikes the man with another arrow does it hurt even more?

First arrow is what Life does to you
Second Arrow is what you do to yourself

Second Arrow is also considered as reactive emotions. And some people have 1000 arrows.

As How Lord Buddha explained,
“There are two arrows, The first arrow is pain, injury, loss. You can’t avoid it. What you can avoid is the second arrow; the one you shoot at yourself about why you got shot by the first arrow to begin with.”
