Karma
Here's a little story to cheer you up...
Once upon a time I was in northern Italy on a grey October morning. Riding on a train to catch a plane back to Ireland. I was with my girlfriend of the time and we knew we weren't going to see each other for months. As you can imagine our moods were bleak, tears were being shed, the world was coming to an end etc.
Suddenly the conductor came along. He looked like Roberto Benigni and was singing & whistling and had a huge infectious grin on his face. As he came up to us he made some jokes, told us to cheer up and basically helped us up no end.
He went on down the train, wisecracking, dancing and generally passing on his good vibe to every single person on the train. As I sat there I realised that the repercussions of his good mood (a bit like the chaos effect) were going to ripple around northern Italy and be passed on from person to person.
Then the thought entered my mind that maybe the conductor's wife's boss was in the train. The boss naturally was put in a good mood by the conductor's jokes, maybe the boss would then go to work and would be generally nice & unusually friendly with all his employees (including the conductor's wife). The conductor's wife would then be really happy because her boss was so nice to her. She would then go home to the (now tired) conductor and pass on her good mood and love to the conductor...
If that isn't Karma I don't know what is. Pass on the good word. Fight the good fight. Peace!
