They say "time is gold", thus it has worth. I don't depend my behavior towards time with this phrase but it is just innate in my personality to virtue this abstract idea. Eventhough we don't see, hear, touch, smell and taste time, it is the state where you can do and make your actions out of your best.
By pledging acquaintance lets the person to give his available time to someone. Giving us the "terms of engagement".With that, it is expected to comply to that pledge. In the business world, it is ideal to be "on time" because time could either means gain or loss. So all of the so called professionals are expected to conform to their signed pledge with their companies. Circumstances such as not keeping that will faced sanctions of termination of a business position. Thus, professionals are following such expectations in order not to face further sufferance.
But how about normal people? Pledges is normal to human activity. This is manifested though meeting people whether they are closed to you or not. Dates also have pledges. Giving each other time to be versed. Even pledges are normal, it has been normal too not conforming to it. So we have the tendency to break that engagement in pledges that it is more than normal that we became used to it.
With time as part of the pledge of acquaintance, tardiness is an element to broke the terms of engagement. By giving time when to meet someone can let you give the procurable time one has. It is understandable that people can be late normally. But the bad part of the engagement is waiting. The waiting agony can make someone feel bad just because of waiting or expecting that the time given to her was the person's( to meet) attainable time. But it is always a case to case bases and every situations are different.
Personally my behavior towards time changed when I first met the situation during a work engagement. I was late that time and the one who brought me for that make up job was angry because i have to consider that when u have engagement u have offered your time to that. And if you cant comply then consequences happens. In that situation, consequences such as not finishing on time is inevitable and if that happen immediate sanctions such as not paying for the service, payment deduction and bad reputation to customers. That experience changed my approach with time. Although this experience is more of business, I think that it also must be applied by normal people who pledge for engagements. If someone knew that he cant conform to that engagement or can be tardy then he "must" give the right attainable time he can.
Clarifying on situations of dates in relationships, It is not about you don't understand not allowing a late partner to be happy. Of course, if he was happy that time then his partner would be happy for him too. thats the goal in the relationship making each other happy. The thing with situations such as this would come of the thought that he must be aware also that he gave his so called "attainable time" to another person or to a partner perhaps. Enduring to that normality is not universal and depends on the person's personality towards time in particular.
We can understand by being tardy made that person happy, but allowing to be late as always on the said available can be infuriating to the person who considers time valuable. You can understand the person if he can give u time or not, but just not let others expect and wait. There are two outcome for this, either the one can change time habits or the other one will change for the other. Resolutions for this case would be the person who somehow was offended of action will assure that he will not do it again even if you know he can do it because its normal. Being sorry is enough but it will be better to recommend resolutions.
I think it is about time management and be attentive to his confirmed engagements would be the great way to avoid breaking the terms of engagement. So I rest my case.
