@ Chien
yes, i do agree that promises in the past can change since nothing is permanent in this ever-changing world. but simple promises should be kept.

anyway, i believe there’s something called emotional bank in everyone’s heart. if you fulfill ur promises to me, it means you’ll deposit $$ to the account but if you break it, it’ll withdraw. so it depends whether the deposit account is +ve or -ve. If -ve, then you have to do something big to make me trust u again.

@ gapnap
that’s because he has fulfilled A LOT MORE promises

The comment form is really fanciful.

I am not sure about it myself. I guess in life there are promises bound to be broken, whether you like it or not. And sometimes it’s hard to keep promises under different circumstances.

Promise are usually made in past, to be fulfilled in the future. What if something happens in the future and as a result you can’t fulfil the promises you made?

So it’s kinda hard to say if that person is trustworthy or not just because he has broken a few promises, though he’d leave a bad impression on ppl.

All in all, whether that person is trustworthy or not, depends on how you look at him, according to your own guts, and also experience.

@ Pikey
Really? Hope the idea is somewhat different. I wrote this 1 or 2 weeks ago and saved it in draft. Tend to do that nowadays due to my working time.

@ Damien
Mmmmm. Words are not necessary when it comes to that sort of thing. It’s all about the ‘feel’. Talking nonsense.

“Maybe that is why one of my principles in life is never to give a promise unless I am at least 90% sure I can keep them.”

Haha, make sure you remember that when you do that you’re the only one for me and till death do us part thing. From what I hear it ranks among the most frequently broken promises ever.

Coincidentally, I wrote about this topic a few days ago.
