6.2.2 Wisdom and Knowledge Series, post #6. Buddhism, post #3: Accidents analyzed.

Wisdom and Knowledge Series, post #6. Buddhism, post #3 (6.2.2):

 Accidents Analyzed 

Accidents can happen with a utility knife when you do hobby modelling, wouldn't you agree?

My R.I.P. 'R.I.P.'R tank I created is just my version of a Tiran 5 tank model. No accidents with the utility knife happened to me when I was modelling the tank.

Here is an image of a utility knife (also called a 'box-cutter'?):


Possibly my own personal analyzation in the past, in my mind, of accidents, gave me understanding as to how accidents happened in some ways, and helped me avoid accidents with the utility knife in my R.I.P. 'R.I.P.'R tank model building. I will now share that analyzation of how accidents happen:

When you use force to cut something, and the knife slips, you may not have enough control to stop a possible accident from happening (cutting your hand/body, for example), because the knife is moving too fast, due to the force you applied to cut something just before the accident happened.

Accidents of cutting yourself will possibly less likely happen if you do not use uncontrolled force, that there is no fast accidental slip of the knife.

No great uncontrolled force used in cutting = no uncontrolled quick movement of the knife if an accidental slip were to happen. (Therefore, a speeding knife will not cut you in a slip of the knife.)

Again: if you use too much force in your cutting -- for example, cutting the plastic residual knobs off the plastic tank tires (after you broke those tank tires off the plastic frame that held them and other parts) -- if there is a slip of your knife, the speed of the moving knife is too hard to control, and will lead possibly to an accident like cutting yourself. Instead, if you don't want to accidentally cut yourself: do not use an amount of force that is too much to cut something, that if a slip of the knife were to happen you could not control the knife's direction of travel in that slip (because of too much force leading to too much speed of the knife when it slips).

It's basically cause-effect. Science is cause-effect, right? The 'Majjhima Nikaya 61' of Theravada Buddhism teaches cause-effect. Here is the link to the Majjhima Nikaya 61:

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.061.than.html

Three things the Majjhima Nikaya 61 says:

1) Thinking before you do something is also called 'proactive', right? Also, 'foresight' is a good word for it, right?

2) Think while you are doing something.

3) And thinking after you do something, can be called 'hindsight', right?

Last analyzation of accidents:

A knife is a sharp, hard, thin edge, which will, for example, give a sharp cut to your hand/body when contacted in an accidental slip.

Gravel on the ground is less sharp, but the pebbles that make up the gravel are each hard surfaces your hand, etc. will contact if you fall off your bike, for example. The contact with it will be an abrasion type contact to your hand, etc, not a thin cut contact like a knife.

An "accident" if it were to happen against a soft object, for example, a banana, would not give your hand/body any injury, but the banana would be "harmed"/squashed when contacted.

If you don't want to spend the time building a tank from a model kit, having to smell the glue and paint in the modelling, the great amount of time it takes, possibly having a disastrous accident or small accidents with an utility knife, then buy a tank already put together -- static model or remote control (if you don't mind spending the money on it).

That's all.
