I remember being in the car when I was a real little boy with my mum and Aunty. They were both very young. Aunty still a teen mum early 20s. It was pissing down rain and this little old man hunched over with a walking stick was hobbling along the footpath. My mum swerved went out of her way too drive through a massive puddle beside him and outright Fucken drenched him.
So now my mum is over 60 and my aunt around sixty. Every time I hear them talking shit about showing old people respect and how young people have none for the elderly anymore, not like in their day. I remind them of this moment they so easily forget and say you mean like you did when you drenched the old man with a walking stick. They try to lie and say it was an accident and I remind them that they slowed down, talked about doing this then deliberately swerved as they sped up through the water while laughing their heads off at how big the wave was and how it almost knocked him over. Their next excuse is that they were only young then. Point made. Remember your small children see everything and not all forget. People please be the change you want to see in the world.

Sad story, I remember you telling me this before :'(

I believe Karma forgets no one.
Can be a real bitch.
Flip side to that is. If karma is real some people would live blessed lives. Does't seem to be the way of the world.
In that case they will come back to reap that Karma. This I am sure of.
I inadvertently did that once when I was a new driver. I drenched this poor old lady. I felt so bad about it, I stopped, apologised and gave her a lift home.
That's awesome beautiful that you stopped and made a real effort to make a mens even though it was accidental. These are the kind of stories I want to see in the world around me. Thank you for sharing
