Some stupid gifts are not as important as showing someone understanding when they are going through a tough time. Chemo (to treat constant pain like RA), a leg injury, a depressed immune system, family members in an accident... those things deserve a little understanding in my opinion.
Would I be sad that I didn't get my gifts on time? Yes. However, I don't think ripping someone apart when they are going through a rough time and already feeling remorse is the best road to take.
What to you seems like excuses could be someone's real pain, and THEN how would you feel for picking at them? Karma certainly wouldn't smile upon you. |
Let me tell you about real pain. In the last GE, I lost my closest brother. I certainly had as good an excuse as anybody to withdraw completely from the GE, but it was my obligation. When I commit to something, I commit fully. Even through my mourning, I got my package out, and did my best to give my buddy some hints to let them know I was here and thinking about them.
