One jokingly said, a promise is not necessary to be fulfilled as it is only a promise. However, certain people might take the promises being made seriously, and sometimes even way beyond our imagination on how they would react. We have friends who lost their friendship due to broken promises, who lost their trust after promises not being fulfilled, who lost their dearest after promises being broken. Silly it may seem, but this might just be one of their principles in life, to keep their words and to have the people around keeping theirs in return. Personally, we should make promises for the sake of fulfilling it, not to fulfill it for the sake of promises. A promise is to be made when we actually mean it, instead of satisfying one’s desire, because once we have given our word, actions should and shall be taken. If we ourselves never intend to do it such a way, then might as well as not making any at all, for the promises were once holy and pure, which, unfortunately, no longer the same after certain people misusing them.
“为了实行而承诺，并非为了承诺而实行”
