agman: I never pass down a free meal, but if it cost $1000 to get to
it. Well
Hopefully, agman, you were only making an off the cuff, smart alec remark, thus the
at the end. I say this because there is not a price, a dollar amount in possessions, or actions taken in life, of a relationship with another person, that should be done for a free meal. I believe, instead, similar to what claudya said, both, of the relation, gain of the experience, and if not positive, take greater care not to repeat it again. Keep the positives learned, and trash the negatives while making them positive lessons not to be repeated. Hell, if I dwelt on the thousands spent on relationships with people around the world, has my loss, and not the result of the positive impact it made on their lives, I'd be one pissed off man. And those words are coming from a man, who is not rich by monetary, or possessions, but far more enriched of my actions with what I do have, and work for.
