I got to see karma on an arsehole I used to work for - I made huge changes in my life to manage one of his businesses,and found it was just a sham and lies.I walked out after 3 months,and then he started lies and rumours in the community about me.
A couple of years later I was at the ferry terminal waiting for the ferry home,when I saw someone I hadn't seen for many years - towering physically in every way over everyone.He had been a leading figure in one of the most notorious gangs in Auckland in the '70's,and they are still notorious.But we had known each other before he was a gang member,our brothers were mates,and the little brothers often tagged along.
So I went up and had a talk to him,asked what he was doing these days.''I do debt recovery,got a wife and kids,and a mortgage....got to stick with what I'm trained for.'' Then the ferry came in and he was watching the passengers,then he said ''Gotta go,catch you around''. He went up to my old boss and put his arm around his shoulders,the little scumbag fitted under his armpit.Then he walked him to his car,never letting his arm off him.
I made sure I was standing by the car,made sure he saw me,and that I was more than a passing acquaintance with his ''business partner''.A hugely satisfying end to my day.....
