The Karma of Giving a Lift and Getting One

--by chaiteahippie, posted Mar 11, 2010

About two months ago, I was visiting my hometown and was taking a drive with a friend. We had decided to drive around for no particular reason when suddenly it began to rain. And rain. And rain.

We happened across a young man walking down the road and asked if he wanted a ride. He quickly agreed. He stated that he lived about a mile away and was on his way home from work, which he had to walk to since his car had broken down. When we dropped him off, he thanked us generously and stated that it was great to find good people since he had recently moved here from out of state.

Fast-forward a month. I was back in the town that I live in and was walking to the campus library about a mile away. It was a particularly hot day and I really didn't feel like walking, but driving seemed nonsensical. I had no sooner walked down the alley from my apartment when a red Jeep stopped. The driver inquired if I would like a ride. For some reason, I felt no apprehension and quickly agreed. The guy that picked me up said that he lived down the road and knew how it was a rough walk when it was so warm. When we arrived at the library, we exchanged phone numbers and are now great friends.

What a wonderful thing karma is!
