Promises..
"i promise you i will love you forever"
"i promise you i won't tell mom & dad"
"i promise you i won't lie again"
"i promise you i will not hit her again"
"i promise you i'll treasure you forever"
"i promise you i will not drink again"
"i promies you i won't do drugs ever"
"i promise you i will start praying"
"i promise you safety and protection"
"i promise to respect you always"
but things changed ..
* he stopped loving her.. she betrayed him..
* he was forced to tell mom & dad.. otherwise they would have grounded him.. he was only 6 and sooner or later they'd know who broke the vase..
* but he had to lie again many many times... business is business..
* in social service terms, he was considered to be an abusing husband.. today he is in jail for an attempt to murder .. he hit her badly she almost died..
* who said treasures are meant to be treasured.. they are sold sooner or later..
the support he needed dissolved even better than crystal meth in water.. after the first dissapointment from society.. he went back to his two best friends.. a bottle.. and an syringe..
* a new job.. too busy.. too many meetings.. and very little time for prayers.. she forgot her promise.. and hardly prayed except once in a full moon..
* they promised us safety and protection.. where was this promise when the bombs blew up their house.. their dreams.. and their hopes..
* but they insulted him..and stabbed him in the back.. and forced him to defend himself.. and he broke his promise.. he disrespected them !
After a conversation i had with a close friend.. a sentence nested in my mind
"i promised her as long as things don't change"
It made me wonder.. promises are applicable ceteris peribus everything else?
Is a promise considered to be a promise as long as things don't change ?
Does it give us the right to break the promise once our surrounding or the person we promised changes?

laish.. do promises act as answers for thoughts? ;)
u used to tell me that promises were made to be broken.. well, your word is your word, i say promises shouldn't be taken lightly, and only given when achieving the promise is guaranteed.. even if things change. isn't that how banks work mrs. business? lol.. no matter how much the real loan would fluctuate, the nominal agreed amount will be returned!
p.s
lol@ceteris paribus

A promise is a promise. I hate promises. What are they?
