I can't recall a single time when I've had the opportunity to own a whole bar of chocolate all to myself. I've always had to break nuggets off and give it to who ever is around. And usually, just the crinkle-crinkle of the plastic wrap and the golden aluminium foil around my magnificent bar of chocolate is enough to bring people in like nerds to a comic convention. Now, that's not a bad thing. I'd rather share my bar of chocolate than have it all to myself, wouldn't you?
Sometimes when I really feel like it, I leave the house (still in my pyjamas), head to the store nearby and buy myself a bar of chocolate. I almost always meet someone on the way back and offer them a piece. This is less out of courtesy and more out of the willingness to share it.
"Oh my gosh you're such a saint... showoff. I give to charity too you know!... well, sometimes"
Sheesh calm down reader.
All I'm saying is sharing is a good feeling, and more than often what goes around comes around.
Just last week a friend and I shared a rickshaw home and a lady asked if she could ride with us because her knees were weak. We said okay, and yes, this time out of courtesy. She was all chatty and asked about our education and college and we answered as much as we thought it was okay to answer.
"Stranger danger silly girl! She could have done something! Don't you watch enough movies kid?"
Yeah, yeah I know okay, but listen to me!
We dropped her off where she wanted to get off and that was that.
Yesterday I was the one in need of a ride home after class ended late last night, and I could have walked the distance however, I was not only lazy but it was also raining. This time, another lady already comfortably seated in an autorickshaw offered to share the ride and drop me home instead.
Karma? I don't know. But Justin Timberlake sure knew what he was talking about.
I like to believe in the genuine goodness of people. There's so much good happening in the world that not many people know of. You know what? Why don't you go and do some yourself! Right now! Go grab a chocolate bar and share it with someone. No I'm serious go ahead! Oh, and while you're at it if you see a girl on the streets wearing pyjamas and holding a bar of chocolate, it's probably me.
