Reaction causes rebirth

Buddha is passing. Someone abuses him. He listens to it, then turns to Ananda and says - "Ananda, this was a long debt. Now it is paid. In some life I must have abused him. Now no more chain. "Thank you, friend" Buddha said to that man. "Now the account is closed. I am not going to react" - Buddha says, "Reaction is rebirth. If you react, you will have to be born again and again because you are in a chain. Accounts are not closed. Every thing is open".

Now, if the duck had a human mind, this scene would go very differently. The duck may fly away peacefully, for a moment, but he would not put the fight behind him. He would keep the fight alive in his mind, by thinking and story-making. The duck's story would probably go something like this: "I can't believe what he just did. He came within five inches of me. He has no consideration for my private space. He thinks he owns this pond. I'll never trust him again. I know he's already plotting something else to annoy me with.
