he and i were stood up by the trainer. we were supposed to train but the trainer did not show. i attributed it to his foolish and careless youthfulness. later in the day i came to find out i stood up her. her being one i barely knew but we did have an appointment and i missed it. how could i have forgotten? laziness and distractability in all likelihood. Later in the day still, my friend and i were stood up by they, the other friends. the excuses: ones dog swallowed a tampon, another overslept, two others left no word.
coincidences like these point to meaning beyond what coincidences can bring.
i surmise the lesson as thus:
be forgiving when stood up. it may not have been on purpose or due to anything more than being falliable and human. to be hurt is over such is wasted emotion.
especially when you consider youve stood up as well as been stood up.
