Better Karma: Day 33
In the business world, it’s thought time is money. This was my first thought to justify being rude. I was at the fabric counter at the store, with a mound of fabric to be cut. I was half way done when an older lady came into the line & she only had one small item that needed to be cut, which meant that she would have to wait until the half mound of fabric that I had left was cut. My mind said things like:
I was first. This is the way the world works.
She’ll just have to wait, the entire free world runs on the system of waiting in lines.
Then I thought about my goal to “build better karma”. I asked the cashier to let this lady go ahead of me. It probably took less than a minute, but it made both the cashier & the lady very happy. I need to change my mentality from being justified to being kind. (Yes, I know that a month doesn’t have 33 days in it, I just don’t think I’m quite done with this experiment yet).
