My Lesson or Yours?

Is it not possible that if people are put into our life for a lesson, that we, then, aren't put into other's life, for a lesson - for them?

Somewhat like Karma - like doing good and the "reward" of doing good is simply the good feeling that you get from it, versus getting an actual "prize."

This thought came to me this morning as I thought about my friend's most recent relationship.  Four dates - two weeks - and he's not ready for a relationship.

Perhaps my friend's involvement in this whole thing was simply so this young man could get experience in "breaking it off," without the drama of tears, things flying through the air, and name calling?

No one likes to think that it wasn't about them.  Or that it wasn't more meaningful than THAT....

However, what if some of our "trists" really are so others can learn lessons, too?
