“Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.“
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975);
The worlds is full of girls and boys that their parents made promises to them but never kept. The world is also full of adults that make promises to each other but really never meet up to their end of the bargain.
This can really do some major damage to a persons emotions. However, it doesn't matter what age you are; a promise is a promise. Once you make it, and articulate it, you are obligated to make it happen - its all in your worlds and in your hands.
Don't waste words just so you can get beyond the moment. Don't lie to your children just so they can like you right now. Don't say things to your fiends if you know you aren't capable of accomplishing it.
Remember that your words are a representation of your character. Play it right...
