How do you feel when people don’t return things they borrowed from you?
Upset, of course. I am a person of my word (does what I say), so I feel upset
when others aren’t. I have been very irritated several times when people,
especially my little sister, has borrowed something from me and lost or
damaged it. However, if it wasn’t something very valuable, I try to remember
that it isn’t the end of the world (something big or important).
