A Promise

‘I pledge that’… ‘this is my oath’… ‘I vow’… ‘you have my word of honour’.

Why do we use such sophisticated words and try to convince someone that we are actually going to live up to it.

Why try to fake it and give false hope.

People will understand and appreciate it better if you genuinely tell them the truth.

Simply admit, ‘I’m sorry, but I can’t do this’.

BUT, that does not mean you don’t try at all. Do your best and who knows, you might even succeed and God might assist with his divine powers if your intentions are honest.

Giving false hope to someone is similar to backstabbing them.

Why does breaking a promise give us a feeling of betrayal?

Well, first off, you break someone’s hope and at the same time, you risk your own reputation.

Honestly, tell me? Do you want to be known as a “promise-breaker”?

A promise is the symbol of your trustworthiness.

It is the thin and frail road on which we all tread to develop a good relationship.

A light blow can break this very road instantly and many a times, it is a no-return from that point.

The global and general definition of a promise is: ‘A declaration or assurance that one will do something’.

So, I request everyone and urge you to forever remember, take care of this brittle and fragile jewel and please do not use it for selfish reasons and in the process, hurt anyone’s feelings. 

Let’s weigh our words well before we utter them.
