What if on a recent trip, one of our group was late continually and the rest of the group got annoyed and I chimed in with my negative opinion?

What if a few hours later, in the pouring rain, I got separated from the group and could not find my way back and made them all wait and had to stand on the corner in the rain for 20 minutes until they found me?

What if this was a great lesson for me to give others the benefit of the doubt and know that we are all doing the best we can?
