Daily miseries – Part 2

You lend something to a friend. This time you do not forget who it is. Time passes and he doesn’t return it. Trusting, you decide to wait a little longer as, after all, it is a friend. Time passes and he still does not return the item, but you don’t worry. You trust your friend.  One day you’re in the street and your friend is walking toward you. When he sees you he abruptly changes direction and you lose sight of him; your hopes of recovering the object vanish just like your recently paid wages.  You verify what has long been eluding you.  With a little pain in your soul you forget the friend and record the object as the price of that person now turns away without looking at you.
