They say good thing’s come only if you think positive, or to have good happenings to think positive, I personally don’t believe in these saying’s, I respect if you do, but when you have lived a life where positive thoughts to get you out of bad situations hasn’t actually worked, then please respect my thoughts may differ from yours.
Though, what I do believe in is karma, in what way I have never been sure.
Just a couple of months back, I saw a post shared on social media, a guy had lost a sentimental item, understandably he was desperately searching for it, sharing images of the item on social media, I read through and realised I had the same item in my room, just hanging as decor. Without thinking I reached out to the guy, told him whilst I knew it wasn’t the same, yet was, I wanted to be able to send him the one I had. I know I was a stranger, and this was really random, but I would like to be able to do this for him, within a week I was able to post it on, asking for nothing more in return, other then he passes the random act of kindness (RAOK) on one day.
He notified me when he got the item, his message meaning a lot, I didn’t feel the need to reply, so I read, closed the message and left it. I felt no need to brag on social media on what had gone on, it was private between him and I.
I thought no more of it until last week.
My daughter dearly wanted a happy/sad octopus, so I got her one, some how I managed to get her a grumpy grump one, unsure of whether this was meant to be this way or whether it was a glitch in the system, I posted in a Facebook group asking about it.
I too then, got an email from a stranger, she wanted to send my daughter a proper one, I was unsure at first, but finally gave her my address, then as per normal, I closed the email and didn’t think about it again.
That was until the postman came knocking with a small parcel for my daughter. The lady had followed through with her kind offer and I had one crying (with happiness) daughter
Thinking after, I remembered the guy I had sent a parcel too, the RAOK, and now it had been returned via my daughter.
Just two small thing’s in a world that is harsh, and for me dark, but small things that have warmed the hearts of others, and ever so slightly myself.
I have since gone via my page, to continue this train, I hope others pick up on it too, the world has gone strange, it’s time to show kindness once again.
Simply put, now I know that at times, give what you wish to get back, but don’t expect anything, thinking positive gets you no where, it’s actions that really push the light through.
