Karma

July 17th, 2007 at 07:20 pm

I rarely give money to the homeless when I'm in my car. If I'm walking in or out of a building I'll stop to give them my change. But for some reason or another I feel too vulnerable handing them money from my car.

Today, however, I broke this "habit" and gave a man $4.00 from my car window. He had a sign that said, "US Veteran needs help". As the relative of many family members who have served, the sign pulled at my heart strings and I couldn't drive past him without giving him something.

I stopped by the bank to deposit another $100 into my Roth IRA and guess what I found when I stepped out of my car?

A $5.00 bill.

A dollar made by being kind. Me thinks I will keep this fiver and not spend it.

    I believe what goes around, comes around. Good for you for helping someone.

    But how you do you really know he was a veteran, or maybe just someone counting on a softie like you to respond to someone with a sign like that? I'm sorry to sound so cynical, but there are scammers everywhere.

    He might be a scammer, but you only know your intention, not other people's. It still was a good act and if you believe in karma, the universe gave you a profit for it.
