In our society,one thing that pops out is how often we promise things and how often we don't stick with it.. It's like it meaning has been changed into something else.
I don't know about you, but When i think of promises, i think of something that we swear to stand by, on our word. If we say we'll do it, we should definitely do it [that is also why we should only promise what we can keep].Otherwise, our word goes from meaningful to meaningless, just like that..
And when that happens,how can we expect people to trust us again? Or, why do people trust us again?
The sad truth about why people don't get really pissed when someone breaks their trust is because everyone know everyone has, at some point, broken that tie and deep, deep down we feel like we had no moral at all to judge others. But then,one of two thing happens.
1)You've always managed your knowledge based on certain values and you stick by them so blindly that you think breaking some promises is OK. In that case, you either get lucky and the person you screwed over understands you or you get no longer the trust-worthy label.
2)You don't like breaking your promises and when you do, by reasons that are just as pointless as any others, you feel really bad and tell the one you've hurt what you've done, expecting nothing but a clean conscious.
I get there is no being straight 0 or 1, but is the code you've creating step by step that defines who you are, and that my friend is totally up to YOU.
We all know there is no being perfect.
Anyway, all this thought was started when i watch "Nothing but the truth" [It's available online]. The movie is just unbelievable great and the history goes by just because a woman decides to keep a promise.
Staying by your beliefs just like she stood by hers is THE dream!

i'm amazed...
It was worth the wait. I must say your the best of the three of us, in my opinion.
You wrote a true fact, with all comprehensable subjectivity, and exposed your ideas clearly.
Promises you make them a lot. from the deepest hole in hell we promise revenge, pain, suffering and inhalation. In lovers arms we promise forever fidelity, respect, care, AMORE. We all promise something we can't/won't keep, and it's not because there's the pleasure to screw with the one we promise to (although i must admit evil feels pretty damn good sometimes).
Normally we care too much, for that person, we promise - better yet we advertise - unreachable stuff because, we want them with us, to gives us attention, to ask for more, to keep us company.
Because this is a sad world we live in, and every glimpse of light and hope - no matter how frail or fake - brings up brighter days.
Like every other great thing in life it usually falls short, and depression, desolation and dark storms come upon the once good and happy days.
Some rip all that once was apart, breaking ties, and bringing destruction to their lives, others stand by and wait for the sun to shine once more.
You just have to wonder if it's worth waiting for? or is it better to give up, and destroy the past with subjective reasoning and pain?
Every one will have to chose someday

I'll have to bet on sarcasm. You're being too nice [and I'm not buying it..]
But if you're being truthful, thanks.
Anyway,I'll think of what you said and I'll let you know.
There's not even a slightest pinch of sarcasm, in my words.
I truly believe what i said, and jack is certainly going to make me pay for it.
We'll talk tomorrow.
