A trip to the grocery store turned into an unexpected lesson in justice for my wife, Karol, and me. As we stood in line, a careless stranger suddenly pushed into Karol, who was pregnant at the time. The shock was palpable, but Karol’s response was anything but ordinary.
With a calm and collected demeanor, Karol reached into her purse and pulled out a ripe tomato. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she expertly tossed the tomato, hitting the stranger right in the chest. The impact left a visible stain, a symbol of the stranger’s thoughtless behavior.
The entire grocery line fell silent, watching in awe as the stranger stood there, speechless and covered in tomato pulp. Meanwhile, Karol continued loading our groceries onto the conveyor belt, unfazed by the commotion she had caused.
As we left the store, I couldn’t help but think about Karol’s unique approach to justice. She didn’t seek revenge or lash out in anger. Instead, she trusted in the universe to restore balance in its own way.
Walking hand in hand, I realized that sometimes the most powerful form of justice lies in letting go and trusting that the universe will set things right. Karol’s actions that day taught me a valuable lesson about the power of karma and the importance of trusting in the natural balance of the universe.
