Human interaction in a Society should be characterised by mutual respect irregardless of status.

Human nobleness is not anchor on wealth or income status.

Human nobleness is anchor on :-

(1) Mutual respect for one another - i am ok, you are ok.

(2) Compassion and kindness - to be able to give and take - not being abusive.

(3) Wisdom and Insight - on how problems and issues are resolved wholesomely - not co-descending. It is how to resolve issue by making big problems trivial, making trivial problem a non-issue.

This also apply to some paying customers that we witness locally - who also display similar "pattern" - like ridicule, unrealistic or unreasonable demand ---- with the notion that :-

(1) Customer is the King
(2) I got money, I am rich, I got status ---- you must satisfy every whim and fancy of my needs - even though I do not express or articulate it.

Yes, humans has progress and advance materially, but unfortunately, mentally humans has regress progressively -- which will unfortunately attract negative karma.

See, the karma is immediate.

But at least, she has genuinely repent - and this serve as a lesson for her to mend her ways.

A noble person is not equal to wealth or status.

A noble person is characterised by :-
(1) Mutual respect - I am ok, You are ok. All humans irregardless of wealth or social class are equal.

(2) Compassion, Kindness, Ability to Give-And-Take

(3) Panna Wisdom - ability to resolve difficult issues with cool and calm mind - with "Win-Win" solution. Not making no issue - to become an issue, making small issue to become a big issue.

Now she has make a small issue to become a big issue for her staff.
And she has make herself, her father, her company a bigger issue - a National issue, an airline issue, even an International issue - she become famous overnight - known by people all over the World and become a Celebrities - for the wrong reason.

So isn't karma immediate, compounded and manifested?

A story about Nobleness :-
(1) A young girl has $2 dollar in her pocket. One day she went to a temple and she rejoice when seeing the Buddha statute. After praying and showing respect to the Buddha, she donated half of her wealth $1 dollar to the temple.

The Abbot, high monk personally come out to bless her.

(2) The young girl inherited good karma and subsequently become a concubine to a King. This time, the young girl again visited the same temple and pray to the Buddha and she demand good services from the temple with dining feast. She donated million of dollars to the temple.

This time, the Abbot call a novice monk to come out to bless her.

This young girl become very angry and asked the Abbott.
She say in the past, when i donated $1 to the temple, the Abbott personally provide the blessing and the highest honour to her.
...But this time, i donated millions of dollars to the temple, you only called a novice monk to bless me.

The Abbott say, when you donated to the temple of $1, you possess the "Nobleness of a Human Being" - because you donate with "your real and genuines heart - that is glittering with gold". Thus in karma term - you reap the highest blessing from the Abbott. And in material term, you has become a King's concubine due to your good karma.

But now as a King concubine, even though you donated millions of dollars to the temple - "your heart is fill with contempt to the temple" and you demand "exceptional service - by measuring the material money" - not with your "golden heart - that is pure and untainted" --- thus in karma term - your merits and karma is only commensurate with the blessing of a novice monk not the High Monk.

Continuation of the Story of Nobleness :-
The young concubine went back to the palace dejected.

Few years later, a famine strike, the province and many people go hungry.

The temple orgainsed a charity fair to collect donation so that the temple can prepare vegetarian foods to feed millions of people who is going hungry.
The young concubine discovered the news of the famine and the temple charity drive.

This time, the young concubine took a fraction of her fortune, a million dollar and she was accompanied only by her maid.

She dress like any commoner and went to the temple unnoticed. When she was at the temple, she requested her maid to quietly drop the million dollars into a donation box.

Then both quietly walked away and decided to return back to their palace.
When they are near the exit of the temple, the Abbot appear together with all the temple's monks.

The Abbot told the young concubine that the Abbot and all the temple's monks will hold a blessing ceremony for her - that commensurate with the merits of her donation.

The young concubine got very confused and asked the Abbot :-
(1) When i previously donated $1 million dollars - you mention that my merits is worth the blessing of the novice monk.

(2) When I previously donated $1 out of my fortune of $2, you mention that my merits is worth the blessing of the Abbott, the High Monk and my karma has propelled me from a poor girl to be the King concubine.

(3) But now i only donated a fraction of my fortune (which is less than half of my fortune), though is $1 million - my merits is worth the blessing of not only the Abbot, the Highest Monk but also include all the temple's monk.

The Abbot say, "your current heart and mind is now the same as with your 1st donation of $1 - the heart of the glittering gold - pure and untainted" - thus your merits and karma elicit the blessing of the Abbot, the Highest Monk.

The merits of donating $1 million to feed the million people who are undergoing famine and hunger without plomp, demands, expecting reward in return, special treatment, is again - "the heart of the glittering gold - pure and untainted" - and thus your merits and karma elicit the blessing of all the Temple's monks.

After the blessing ceremony, both the young concubine and her maid walk back to the palace. The news of young concubine good deeds spread quickly throughout the province and many people quickly line up the street to applause and cheer the young concubine and her maid as they walked back.

The King heard the news of the young concubine's merituous deed and promote the young concubine to the rank of a Queen.
