Coincidence
I went into a gas station last week to withdraw some money that I was going to give to a friend to take care of something for me. As i approached the ATM i noticed that a 20 dollar bill was already sticking out. There wasn't a receipt nor anyone near by. The thoughts to return the money to the store had occurred to me as well as asking all the people pumping gas into their car. I decided not to bother and to take the money myself. Later that night I ran into a bum at a grocery store. He was an older, tall, black man with dreads pushing a cart full of whatever seemed to make him happy enough to haul around. With him, he had a dog. I approached him and asked him what he was doing for dinner, if he had any plans. He didn't, I had two fives in my pocket from change from the 20 i found. I gave him the money and told him to get something for his dog also. Later that night, i lost 20 dollars of the money that i withdrew myself. I believe that i was supposed to give the bum the whole 20. Next time I find money, I will attempt to do the right thing. Karma will ALWAYS suffice in the end.
