Karma, the world is round, what goes around comes around... ya I think there’s some truth to it.
Wel, this is anecdotal, but, as I get older, I notice a lot of folks - perfect strangers - being very nice to me and helping me out when I need it, just like I used to help older people when I was young.
And it’s not just holding doors open and such. A few years ago, we were in London staying at the Rembrandt near the V and A. The closest tube stop to it does not have a lift. We took the tube directly from Heathrow, and were struggling up the stairs with our big suitcases during afternoon rush. Three people we didn’t know, two young men and a woman, stopped. The guys handed their packages to the women, and then each one took one of our suitcases and carried them up the steps. They gave us our luggage, wished us well, the woman handed the guys back their packages,
and then they left in three different directions. They were not even traveling together!
Make of it what you will, but I say a little prayer for their happiness.
