Broken Promises

~Aug. 25, 2002~

How difficult is it to keep a promise? How difficult is it to not make it if you don't think you can keep it? Obviously, a lot harder than it seems.

I was raised that if you say you're going to do something, you do it. And that if you make a promise, you keep it, come hell or high water. Which is why I don't make them unless I know, beyond any doubt, that I can keep them.

Now, I understand that the odd situation comes up every now and again where circumstances prevent things from being done as originally thought, but than it's a common courtesy thing to let the people involved know that it won't happen as planned, right?

Am I unique in all this? Or have I just set my standards too high, and expect things of others that they just can't do? But than, why should I expect any less of someone else than what I myself would do? That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Not at all. But I guess it is, because I keep running in to the same thing over and over again. Am I setting myself for this? Do I intentionally seek out those that, for whatever reason, will not do what they say, and break promises to me? *sighs*

Maybe I should rethink a few things in my life. Because I don't deserve this.
