Here's a story.
My younger brother when he was around 12 he would chuck rotten apples at passing cars in our fathers home town well 2/3's of the town is our cousins. So, everyone knew everything. Well he would sit atop of hill in the brush toss them at cars/trucks and duck behind a tree. One time he was very brave, he tossed them from a ditch along the freeway toss and dropped down into it, after he hit them. Well, after awhile he hit a guy's elbow in a white caddy, driver slammed on the brakes got out an chased him. The owner was 6'4 with white socks up to his knees. My little brother's face like
took off like a bat out of hell. He hid in a old barn, but the driver didnt catch him but might've seen him ran, dont know. But I did see the driver go back to his car and drove off. When I seen my brother was sweating big time.
No, I did not dare him to toss apples but our older sister and one of our cousins did
Apparently he it for attenion and that driver was a reliative closer hunting friend to our father.
As, my young brother got older he always got into trouble and never listen to anyone. At one point in time our dad was got real fed up with him. Before our father sent him to live with our mom out of state. He asked me to talk to him, tell him he should stop because he would end up in jail/prison. But our dad did talk to him also but nothing helped. He kept getting into trouble while living with our mother. He racked up record longer than my arm and he did end in jail/prison. Our mother and family kept trying to help him. Like we all did when he was little.
He did change when he was with his girlfriend, she us this but when he was around family he acted different. So, he moved in with her could be our mom talked her into, so he would straighten up but he did wanted to move out anyway, so he did it. After a few years, everything was great with him and his girl but apparently he couldnt hold down a job due to his rap sheet and his girl was getting tired of it. Our step father did get him a good oil rig job regardless of his record because there's people that had a record also. But, what I didn't know, is that my younger brother and Step dad didnt always get along. Because at the time I wasnt around that much because I got married was living with my baby momma. An also our half brother didnt either, he working on a oil rig with him too.
My both brothers got tired of it ( dont know why it's great paying job ) and both quit at same time, and my half had a record too. Go fig.
Both of their girlfriends was ticked off, our half brother was also in college that was why he quit. My younger brother's girlfriend kicked him out went live across the street with our half brother but they did see each other alot after, he got a job at plastics factory. They made up he moved back in with her, he got lazy quit that job supposedly but could be from his record. What heard from our mother. His girlfriend made him move back home, cause they cant live together but still saw each other.
Years later she wanted to break up him and he refuse to accept it because he was head over heels about her. . Our mother, has taked to him and did tell me how he was acting due to the break up and asked me to talked to him.
I told himhe should never think about that, nothing or person is worth it. Regardless, the situtaion there's more things in life than to take ones life. I know that I did tell him, the right thing and I hope it would heard/listend to what I said and family too. Within that week, He took it his own life, she girlfriend didnt believed he would do it. Nobody knew it, except for his girlfriend
Same with our family, even though he had record etc.. He did get all with everyone. Our mother got hold of his emails, his ex. told us he sent her over 300 emails and one email was about she dare him to do it.
Not sure if it was Karma, like you said. But it was tragic.
