What's the point of this bullshit?

so you want a friend you say.
someone to watch movies with, drink wine with.. do things with.
you must be a friend to have one.
you must keep your word, do what you say your going to do, in other words strive to be dependable and trustworthy.
Do you know it isn't that you missed our dinner out, or you fell asleep, it's that you didn't bother to get a hold of me later. Like I was of no importance.
You let me down and you had nothing to say about it.
My friend Jenni from Colorado arrived in Boise that night.
I haven't seen her in 8 years.
She asked me to come out and have dinner with her and her sister.
I turned her down, I told her I had a dinner date, but that I would get with her the next day.
I sat home by myself and waited.
It's not just you, it's a lot of people who feel this way.
That it is of no importance to cancel plans, or not show up.
They also feel it is ok, to let it go, without an apology.
If it were me, I would be apologizing all over myself.
Maybe sending roses or a card.
I don't know what has happened to every day good manners but they are certainly in the toilet.
Now I have something to say.
Adios.

'Educational' refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.
