A story on the power of Karma.

Janet and Ronald were having dinner at her favorite restaurant, her phone rings while the waiter was taking their order. She answers saying, “Yes Rosalyn, I did recommend you for that position and they say they will call you soon.”

She listens signaling to the waiter to wait then said into the phone, “Girl, just wait and give them time to contact you, ok,” then hangs up.

Giving the waiter her order, as he walks away, Ronald asks, “Is that the same Rosalyn that cheated you out of ten grand?”

“Yes,” she answers browsing on her phone.

“And you are recommending her for what?”

“A job,” she replies, still focusing on her phone.

Ronald reaches over gently taking the phone from her hands then hit, “She stole your $10,000, and you are recommending a thief to repeat her crime on someone else’s place of business?”

Janet sways her head several times, then said, “why not?”

“What if she decides to steal again?”

“Well, this time she won’t get away with it,” Janet remarks as the waiter came with their meals.

After taking several mouthfuls, Ronald teases, “I saw that spark of fire in your eyes when I ask you why you helped her, so I know there are some flames behind it.”

She smiles as the spark got bigger, then releases, “The night when she stole my money, the anger in me, I just went for a drive. While driving there was an accident on Highway 112. I had to rush a 9-year-old girl in my car to the hospital. She lived because of my quick action. Her mother gave me $20,000 for saving the life of her only child.”

His eyes widen, his mouth agape as pieces of lettuce hangs from his lower lips.

“Yuck,” she said. “Close your mouth, you are making me lose my appetite.”

He swallows, then took a big gulp of water and asks, “What happened with Tony? I know he lied about you and caused you to lose your job last year. And I heard his sister cussing him out, telling him that he was lucky you forgave him and is doing the recommendation for his girlfriend.”

“Well,” Janet said, swallowing a mouthful of her salad. “They fired me without giving me a chance to explain. I had 12 clients who decided that if he doesn’t hire me back, they will move their business elsewhere. That’s how I end up owning my own investment company. You see, every time they cheat or do anything bad to me, something better happens. It’s like their cruel decisions, opened a better and bigger door for me. How can I not forgive them?”

Ronald swallowed too quickly, then starts to cough. She hastily hands him her untouched glass of water saying, “Drink this and swallow slowly.”

He obeys then said clearing his throat, “Damn girl, what is his name?”

“Who?” Janet asks.

“Your guardian angel.”

“Why do we always assume that a guardian angel is a guy?”

“I don’t care if it’s a she or he. I want to know the name?”

“His name is Karma.”

Sometimes, our enemies do their job of cruelty and destruction too good, thinking they are destroying us, but instead, they unconsciously directed us to a more successful path. Life is a test. In every test, there are winners and there are losers.

Which one are you?
