Positive and Negative interpretations of catalyst

[kycahi]

For what it's worth, I remember when Don Elkins, probably right after returning home from several days of flying for Eastern Air which left him out of sorts and cranky, would just spew sarcasm or worse. Not directed at Carla or anybody they knew, he was just venting at the world at large. Carla would raise her voice a little and say, "Don, enough!" Sometimes at about the same time as she said that, Don might spill something on his clothes or drop something. She would laugh and say, "See?" Don quietly would say, "Instant karma," and then change his tone.

This was before the Ra contact started. Afterward, he might have changed that to, "Instant catalyst."
