Tae In The Context Of Karma

I was having my afternoon break today at eat n out, a small restaurant in front of our office building. I was sitting at one of the tables outdoor, alone taking a break away from the pressures in front of my MS Outlook. I bought buko juice while sitting outside the restuarant and looking at the busy people passing by the street.

The thing that caught my attention were those three girls taking their white and hairy puppies for a walk. While I was sipping my buko juice, one of the puppies pooed at the sidewalk. I saw it right in front of my face, FLAT, while I felt the coconut meat down my throat. I gave myself a little grin and said "huh"...

It was then that the short lived fun I had that afternoon began. Those nasty girls just ignored the bomb that their dogs dropped and left. I then started counting how many inocent bypassers would step on the poop and how many are the lucky ones. From my counting I got 3 landmine victims and a dozen of survivors. Hehehe... I told myself that I’m one of the lucky ones because I was aware of where the bomb was planted.

After my break, I went back to the real world: answering issues, resolving troubles, analyzing problems, etc. I had forgotten that brief and silly moment.

But not after I got home. While I was changing my clothes, I remembered that I took the way in front of the restaurant I went that afternoon. I have already kept my shoes and I wouldn’t bother taking a look at the my shoe’s soles. Whether my count of the landmine victims be 4 (which would include me) or not, it doesn’t matter. I’d rather not know.
