George and his skateboard
A short fictional story about oneness and the law of karma...

Lisa is walking down the street and is pickpocketed by a group of teenagers. She sustains serious injuries from stumbling to the ground and is admitted to hospital.

Lisa is instantly recognised by her colleagues as she is employed as a head nurse at the same hospital. Lisa’s absence of leadership have critically impacted the running of the ward where she works. 

The very next day, George, one of the teenagers who pickpocketed Lisa falls off his skateboard and sustains a broken arm. He is taken to hospital and coincidently is assigned to the ward that Lisa usually works on. Because of the absence of Lisa’s leadership, it takes 8 hours to find George a bed and a further 8 to see a doctor. George experiences lots of discomfort during the wait and frequently rings his parents with tears rolling down his eyes.

George then overhears a group of nurses talking about why their head nurse is not at work today - “Just minding her own business, she was pickpocketed and assaulted by a group of teenagers in the street! If only those teenagers knew how many people Lisa helps in a day!”

Suddenly it hit George like a bolt of lightning. He is one of the teenagers who pickpocketed the lady – now revealed to be the head nurse of the ward he was assigned to. He even remembers pushing her to the ground. He was the reason Lisa could not tend to her patients – including himself. 

George learned a very big lesson that day. Never harm another person, for it may impact your life in ways that you could never imagine. He also realised that kindness has the very same effect. By being kind to others, we invite kindness back into our own lives 💜
