Suddenly this word came to my mind. I just happen to think of some other events that had happened and all of them were linked to this word.
Yes, saying them out are easy, but carrying them out are not if you do not have the heart and will. One can always say 'I promise I will do my best', 'I promise I will not do it again', 'I promise I will take care of myself', but ultimately, whether he succeed or not depends on him.
One loses credibility when they break promises. A friend of mine borrowed some money from another friend, and said he would return them 1 month later. His 1 month became 5-6 months. Once there's a unfulfilled promise, people will hesitate to believe you another time.
One has the tendency to carry on breaking promises once they had the experience breaking them. Another friend of mine likes to talk a lot, but does little. Most of the time, we take his words like hot water taking in sugar; unnoticed until we taste the water.
But the main point is: how many promises have I made in the past? How many have I achieved 100%, and how many have I broken? I've lost count…
I've promised not to waste money, not to eat too much, to run at least thrice a week at night, but did I? I've promised to go out with friends more often, to treat my friends better, to become a good guy, but did I?
No… I guess not…
And regarding promises to friends, luckily I did not miss much, except for some unfulfilled ones which will be carried out soon, like giving them a treat, going out together for some fun, go shopping, etc.
Looks like I treat my friends better than I treat myself….
Yes, this is me.
I guess the rain yesterday must have extinguished some fires in my brain… yes, it's nice to be cool…
