Law of Karma Surfaces
I was at McCormick’s Fish House earlier during their happy hour and while I was there Mac & Jacks was having a promotion giving out raffle tickets to those drinking their brew. Eventually the raffle drawing comes about and I don’t win a thing as their giving out pint glasses, T-shirts and such. Eventually the grand prize – two box seats and a cab voucher to the Mariner’s game – which I end up winning. At first I didn’t know what to think… shit, I actually won something?!?!
Anyways, they came over with the prize (tickets) and I *immediately* plopped them down in front of the couple sitting next to me (of whom I didn’t know). Wow, to see someone else’s eyes *light up* so quickly and wonderfully was just simply amazing. Prior to this we had never spoken which seemed to shock them even more so. Think of it from their shoes, here’s a complete stranger of which we don’t know and have never spoken to and he just gave us premium tickets to the ball game.
I mention that though I’m not going to the game that I’m also in no need of the tickets and that it’s my pleasure to provide them with the opportunity. Another gentleman approaches and states “Working on filling up the karma jar, eh?” a remark that I ended up just smiling to.
Ironically the couple who I had given the tickets to ended up picking up my entire tab (it wasn’t much but a wonderful gesture nonetheless) and ended up bringing meaning to the saying “what comes around goes around; apparently the karma guy wasn’t too far off base.
Walking home I find myself smiling thinking about what I had done, something that I felt was a reward within itself.
