Funny thing though, we have been taking promises as a form of assurance. Always, we hear people saying, “I will be back, I promise,” “I will be a better person the next time we meet, I promise,” “Things will be all better in the near future, I promise.” And when they don’t mention the keyword, it would be our turn asking instead, “You promise?” Perhaps many take promises as the words which would never be broken, a form of contract agreed by both parties when there is no disapproval; perhaps some just like the sound of it, professional and yet casual. Is it our personality by nature that we want people to promise us things which would soon be done? Or it is us who are feeling insecure of the surrounding and circles? Either one, it is a fact that promises plays a very important role in many cases, be it between couples, friends and family; it secures our hearts and souls when the worst has come, it puts the troubled minds into sleep, it comforts us in many ways that we can hardly imagine. However, now that certain group of people start playing tricks using the promises made, it is no longer as magical as it used to be, where we lock ourselves up and observe before we are to believe in the words of others, where we see fulfilled promises as something rare and valuable, where we want the people around who are close enough to promise us the promises that can only be carried out by actions and not just words.
