I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

While it's true that I'm quite fascinated by human behaviour, there are those other moments when I'm completely astounded by another person's actions.

Case in point, while I was at the grocery store earlier today, I saw a car pull into a handicap space with no handicap decal. So as I continued to put my groceries into my car, I saw a teenager get out and lean up against the side of his car and begin to text. About this time, I saw a person with a handicap decal pass the space where this teen had parked his car and have to park 8 spaces down because of his selfish actions.

By this time I was seriously irritated and began to say something, when another customer beat me to it. As I prepared to leave I thought to myself, Karma is so gonna pay this teen back someday because what he did was way more than just selfish, and he negatively impacted a person with a disability all because he couldn't be bothered to think about anyone but himself.

The holiday season is upon us and the stores are getting busier by the day, and while it's a pain in the ass to park a long way from a store's entrance, it's even farther away for someone with a disability. Common courtesy and kindness really do go a long way during this busy time of year.
I never count on Karma although I sympathize with the thought.
“We reap what we sow.”
That is the biblical parable by Jesus that parallels the concept of Karma,
that God is not mocked.

I only believe that which is established.
I believe in taking a leap of faith even if the proof in front of me might not support my actions. In my story, I suppose my leap of faith is to believe there will be a moment sometime in the future where this teen will experience a similar injustice and then he will understand the magnitude of what he did today.
@ScarlettBlue
My Faith is in a creative God
that loves us.

Agreed.
How about sparing the turkey while at it? That would add compassion to your mix for this time of the year.

@ScarlettBlue Thank you. But I respectfully disagree. Your story is about compassion and kindness and very much relates to what I am saying. So it very much deserves a voice here in this thread.

I acknowledge your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. My story highlights a specific situation and shines a spotlight on how another person's selfishness and lack of compassion and kindness caused undue hardship on a person with disabilities. At no time did I shine a spotlight on murder of any kind. As the author of this story, this is my opinion but I do thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

There are some physical disabilities you can’t see.
@SW-User You make a very good point.

Just a thought. I have been in pain since I was very young and no one can tell if I don’t tell them. @ScarlettBlue
This is very true.

To be,never police around when you need one. Big fines for that sort of thing here ..up to 600 bucks 👍️ Should be more I think
@SW-User I simply wish that others would think about the people these spaces were intended for when they decide to park in one of these spaces. Compassion towards others goes a long way.
