Tiny animals endure great sufferings. If we give to them with compassion, the act won’t make us any poorer. Nevertheless, the Law of Cause and Effect is inconceivable.

A single cause requires the help of many conditions in order for its effects to come to fruition. When the time comes and all the necessary conditions are present, there will certainly be an effect. What kind of effect? It depends entirely on the wholesome and unwholesome causes that we create, which yield the effects of suffering and happiness. If the time has yet to come, there might not be an effect.
