Do you believe In ' You reap what you sow '?

Post by Oscar Namechange »

Going to Sainsbury's tonight, there was a chap obviously down down his luck picking up cigg butts off the pavement outside.

While I was getting a trolley, I watched all the people walk past him with their looks of disgust and scorn, giving him a wide berth.

I gave him some change and told him... 'It's not much but It'll get you a cuppa'.... And I gave him a ciggerette with one for Ron.... ( Later On )....

I finished my shopping and got one scratch card at the kiosk with my ciggs on the way out of the store.....

I forgot all abut the scratch card In my bag until just now........ £80... Thank You very much !!!!

Makes you wonder eh?

Does often seem easier for the fates to be kind to us, when we are kind to others, I think.

Not entirely - It rather begs the question what had the down on his luck individual done do deserve his destitution or those who are losing their homes and jobs because of a banking crisis they did not create. On the other hand I do try to treat others the way I would expect them to treat me.

I think a lot of it is attitude. It's not what happens to you in life that matters rather the way you decide to deal with it. Road rage for example- No one can provoke you to anger unless you decide you want to be.

That is very true.

That's how I feel. No-one should judge anyone until you've walked a mile In their shoe's.

They probably wouldn't fit, anyway.
