I’m a big looser, I know. I wasted so much time trying to make the perfect evening. I even altered the plan to give the others more time. I give them the time requersted and they took more. 30 minutes more!
I was hungry and very impatient. I could not get over harboring this resentment. When the dinner started, I was ready for it to end. I was nice, but I was not in the mood to host anymore. I know I should have tried harder to socialize. I’m glad I invited enough to carry on a conversation by themselves.
After everyone left and a couple curses or blasphemes, I shed a few tears. It was not a perfect evening at all. I was a complete ass.
Anyway, I like this movie. There is a line I often reflect upon. “You cannot go through life thinking everyone you meet will one day let you down.”
Everyone is too many to justify. The degree of the let down can be negligible. It seems that most people I have met, in some small way or another has let me down. I, probably, let them down too.
