THE PROMISE

The word PROMISE is supposed to be sacred , but many people use it very loosely! “I will get you that for your birthday, I promise..I will be back, I promise..I will never do it again, I promise. “. After all is said and done , still those promises were never kept! Please excuse those who have neither reasoning nor understanding because both depend on their level of education. .of intelligence! So the words which stumble out of their mouths were not properly nourished by the food of Wisdom! So what’s the use of inserting that word when you’re saying something? Keeping a promise defines who you are…sometimes the other person may forget what you said, but for you, it is something that you have to keep….your word..your promise! The people to whom you made your promise may be looking forward to your keeping it, but little do they realize your true intentions….to keep or not to keep..that is the question! Some will remind you of it (which they shouldn’t have to do) , others may just let it go, because , in the first place, they never believed you! Marriage is also a promise! After a marriage, some people will stay together for years, or until they pass away, while others may break up , separate or divorce just after a few years….totally forgetting their promise….in sickness or in health, ’til death do us part. How about we consider those couples who complete the full journey? What keeps them together …..what kept them together for so long? Was it love, understanding, mutual respect, honesty or something else or all of the above mentioned ? Or could it just may have been something extremely simple…like A PROMISE??
