When we make a promise to someone , it doesn’t mean we will keep them when it benefits us. It doesn’t mean we will keep our promises when it is easy for us to keep them.
We are supposed to keep our promises, especially when we don’t want to. If I promise someone something I will ALWAYS keep my promise. That’s just the way I was raised. If you don’t have your word, what do you have ? If someone can’t trust you ? Then what good is anything that comes out of your mouth?
I may be upset at you , but I will still keep my promise. If I promise to always be there for you , I will be there. If I promise to help you, I will, even if it’s difficult for me to. If I promise you something and it means I have to put my pride aside, I have to deal with things I don’t want to , I will deal with all of it to keep my promise. Especially if I know the person still cares about me . Especially when I know the person loves me . But by not keeping my promise , what would that mean ? I don’t care ? I don’t love ? I only want to be there when it’s easy ? It doesn’t work that way!
