Retribution 报应

As usual, I was parking in the cyberspace when someone in the main channel sounded desperate.

He seemed desperate enough. From my medical training background, his case was more related to a medical problem.

As the usual medical practitioner (working habits die hard, I am the medical officer while onboard my tenure on the ship) I asked him the various questions about the situation, hoping to quell his fears.

After the general questioning was done, I gave him my two cents worth of the situation.
As it had to do with the reproduction organs, he admitted that he had sought for paid sex within the past week.

So that was the whole bare truth. Nevertheless, he was getting frantic. After all, I have reason to believe that this was his first ever brush with the deadly venerable disease.

Anyway, I assured him that it is curable (applicable to his condition) but he was still panicky. After a while of silence he came back to me with the same medical text I have read over before and earlier on.

He was paranoid at this stage and became agitated. He lamented that he should have gone for the younger one. *rolls my eyeballs)

Apparently to me, he have gone over the edge and trying to seek solace in finding a scapegoat (yet at the same time suffering from the consequences of paid sex). Psychologically he wanted the other party to share the blame.

I retorted back at him that no one had taken him at gunpoint to seek such pleasures. This girl-friendless chap still had the cheek to say ‘no girlfriend can die’

Thus all said and done, fancy wasting my finger efforts in guiding him towards the road of repent. I started my onslaught of cynicism on him. As for the content of the sour cynicism, I shall spare everyone the acidity of my remarks. It would certainly go down well for the un-involved anyway.

This is retribution. If human can restrain their wild urging desires, our chap in question would have never come to such a stage in life, fearful of getting the incurable AIDS. I must imagine that he is tossing and turning in his bed now, unsure of what later this morning would bring him to.

Indeed, I have seen some of my friends fearful of the deadly and incurable disease. No doubt that my profession is notorious for its philandering ways, but the work environment have gone past the stage whereby our ships nary stay long in port. On top of everything else, many of the seafarers are not as bad as any landlubber might think. There are times when we hardly able to open our eyes after a long duration of standby…so the energy to set foot ashore is barely substantial. The call of the bed and pillow is often more tempting than the girls ashore.

As much as I wanted to strangle the chap for being still that obstinate, I must say this incident would carve an inedible mark on his sexual history conquests. The fear factor is the best retribution that is reaped for what he had sowed.

菩萨种因,凡人畏果

善有善报,恶有恶报,若未见报,时辰未到。
