I personally believe in the saying that what goes around comes around. My parents told me a story about how they accommodated a lot of people before I was born and how they used to treat them, to the extent that people didn't even know their own children and the one was not theirs. But then that's not where I'm going today.
Growing up, I left home for a while now. Starting from now, college days, I'm this kind of person that doesn't forget what you do for me, either good or bad, so while I was in college, I met with a woman who loves to accommodate people; we normally call her grandma. Somehow I met with this woman, and we started living together. Well, I'm not the only one staying with her, though. But regardless of how plenty we are, this woman will take good care of all of us.
You know what amazes me most is that this woman is not even rich; she's just managing everything she has, but then she will take good care of all of us. Feed us all gives us whatever we need; she does support me physically, financially, and all. So most of the time I wonder how she is doing it without having anything with her.
As if that wasn't enough, when I was in the university, I was suffering, but then I met one woman; I do call her my sister. But we are strangers that become family. She was a staff member in the university I was at; she noticed I was suffering, and I don't have anywhere I was sleeping. She took me in; I was staying in one of her apartments and even told her husband about me. We became family. She feeds me; her husband also gives me money. She doesn't just feed me alone; she also establishes me and so on like that.
I gave myself money to open a business, and it even gave me a shop to stay in. I mean, is it not wonderful that a stranger you meet becomes a beautiful part of your life? I stayed with her till I finished my university, and throughout my stays she and her husband took care of me. Although I'm not the only one staying with them. But the fact that they could pick a stranger and take care of him gives me a lot of concerns.
The two people I mentioned weren't the only ones I've met in my life that shaped my life for the better; however, these are people that I don't know from anywhere. And if I think about it, I just don't know how it happens.
So since then, I have been doing my best for people, whether I know you or I do not know you. And regardless, I will keep doing it. I found a lot of peace from people that I've met so far and became part of my family.
This goes a long way to change my mentality and my life, and honestly there's no way I will not reciprocate; in fact, I'm presently reciprocating it to people around me.
