Karma for Kindness
It started as a simple social experiment.
A young woman dressed in old, worn-out clothes walked through the city carrying a small cardboard box. She wanted to see how people would react to someone who looked poor and in need.
First, she approached a well-dressed couple sitting at an outdoor restaurant. They had plenty of food on their table. Politely, she asked if they could share a small piece. They avoided eye contact and refused.
Next, she went to the park. A man was sitting comfortably on a bench, enjoying a pastry. Again, she asked for a small bite. He dismissed her without hesitation.
Rejection after rejection.
Then she met a street cleaner.
A woman tired from work, covered in dust, pushing a trash cart under the sun.
The young woman asked her for help too.
Without thinking twice, the cleaner reached into her pocket and gave her the little money she had. No questions. No judgment. Just kindness.
The young woman smiled and handed her the cardboard box.
Inside was not trash.
Inside was money. A lot of it.
The cleaner stood frozen, shocked.
Kindness had just changed her day — maybe even her life.
Because sometimes, the people who have the least… give the most.
And karma never forgets.
