Johnny was a member of a gang. He took part in
fights, smuggled drugs and engaged in many other
illegal activities.
Once,
he ran into an attractive woman in a dark alley,
and, allowing his lust to get the better of him,
he raped her.
Many
years later Johnny met the woman of his dreams.
He had had many women before, but this time it
was different. He was in love, and he was convinced
she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of
his life with.
But
somehow, he felt he didn't fully understand her.
There was always a certain somberness and sadness
in her, but he never knew why - she would always
say things were alright.
Then
one day, she finally told him why. Many years
ago, while on her way home, she had walked through
an alley, A man abused her sexually in there.
For the first time, she had opened up herself
to him, and she told him exactly what happened
that night.
Johnny
was upset. But more importantly, he was stunned
into silence. The girl got worried - she thought
he wouldn't accept her. But Johnny had other things
on his mind. He could not believe what he had
done so long ago would come back to haunt him.
He had physically hurt the woman which he would
later fall in love with.
This
may a story too coincidental to be true. But in
life, when we hurt others, we might unwittingly
be hurting our loved ones as well. One day, the
pain might come back to us.
Spread
a little love, and it would come back too.
