Trust.

I once heard a story about a man who was driving along a deserted stretch of road. He had been driving in his car for hours, and his throat was dry and his voice, hoarse. He drove and saw a roadside stall selling water melons. He stopped and got out of his car, walked to the stall keeper, and asked him, "How much for a watermelon?" The answer came swift and quick. "A dollar ten cents." "I only have a dollar with me now. Can I pay you the next time I come around?" The man said. "Sure," came the stall keeper's reply.

As the man picked up the watermelon, and was going to smash it on a nearby rock to get it open, the stall keeper shouted, "Wait! Aren't you going to pay me the dollar?" The man replied, "Couldn't you trust me on that one?" The stall keeper exclaimed, "I trust you on the ten cents, but pay me the one dollar before you eat the watermelon."

The man returned the watermelon back to the stall owner and said, "My trust to you is only worth ten cents. The gamble you're willing to take is that small. You can't even wait for me to finish my watermelon before paying you that dollar. I can't eat such a watermelon, that reduces the price of my trust to a mere ten cents."

Likewise. We don't blame you for leaving halfway, unless you're running off to play LAN or pool or something. We all have difficult times. Its just the way we choose to handle things. We'll try to help you in any way we can i guess.
