Why do they feel the need to teach me a lesson?  
That’s why this relationship never worked.  
  
Yes!  
You’re right   
  
But …  
  
for the wrong reason.  
  
Reasons matter.  
Especially for a friend.  
  
Let's put some respect on our names.  
  
And care.  
  
And premonition.  
  
Gimme some   
  
Proactivity … not  
Reactivity … or worse  
  
Inactivity.  
  
But apologies only get you so far.  
  
The reasons matter.  
  
Have you learned the lesson?  
  
You don’t want to?  
How come?  
You don’t care?  
  
The Message.  
  
Or ...  
  
The Messenger.  
  
What  
if   
the  
lessons  
are   
important?  
  
We are responsible for them.
