Some gained and some lost

So this whole thing is supposed to be about karma in my daily life....and today I feel as though I earned some and believe I saw some lost.

So first the bad news or good news? I'm gonna start with the bad, because it happened first....I was on my way home from a babysitting job, and saw some kid spraying graffiti...the two cop cars in front of me saw it too. So they both pull over (one on each side) get out and both start walking towards him....the kid backed up and started walking towards one of them...just WALKING, not even speed walking, just walking towards one of them (granted I didn't hear any words, being that I was driving....) and the cop kicks him. and the kid was down on the ground. Now, when I saw "kid" i don't mean 13.....he was probably 18 or so, not saying it makes a difference. I don't know the rules when it comes to cops...but as far as I'm concerned a cop shouldn't be kicking someone for walking towards them, regardless of words spoken. If the kid were like running I could understand, they gotta do what they gotta do. But just for that, it was ridiculous. So, once again seeing as I don't know the rules or training or anything like that, I definitely feel as though that cop lost some MAJOR karma points.

Now for the good news: After the above incident, I stopped by 7-11 for some nachos and a Slurpee. While waiting in line, a man and I'm assuming his son, got behind me. After paying for my stuff and all that, I went out to my car, and started looking for a new song to play. Meanwhile, the man and little boy came out of the store and happened to be parked to the right of me....The man unlocked and opened his door, then opened the back door so the boy could get it and helped in buckle up and everything, all the while, he left his door wide open, making it so it wouldn't be smart leave. I started to think about what I could do....I could maneuver it so I could leave, I could honk, I could rev my engine (since I already started it), I could have rolled down my window and said something...All these things I could have done, but he was just a guy, taking his son out to get a treat (I remember going and doing that every Friday as a kid), and I had no where to be...yes I wanted to get home so I could eat but it wasn't a big deal....a minute or two, or even 5 wouldn't make two big a difference with the food....a little softer or melted but it still taste the same. So I waited, and it didn't take long...but all the things I could have done all those things...and seemed like a bitch. But I chose to be nice about it. I chose to do something to earn my karma points for the day.

As I've said before, it doesn't take much to gain those points....but it also doesn't take much to lose them. You are responsible for your actions...you just have to decided if you want to keep or lose those points.
