How fascinating it is to know that in one moment we can make a promise and truly mean it...and then the next we can sincerely break that promise. With no intention to hurt another person. All because we just are not the same person anymore, and for some reason we cannot keep whatever promise we had previously made. We just change and this does not make us some sort of evil person. (then again, there are always exceptions to every statement/rule.)

It is not even because we are weak, it is simply because we change. From morning to night and blah, blah, blah. And this is just some fact of life…it makes us human . That is all we can be. Humans who do things, sometimes wrong and sometimes right. Most of the time (we all would like to think, I believe) all that we do is all that we can do, it is the most that we are able to do.

We just somehow have to accept our flaws and our shortcomings and move on from there. Accept that we are going to make promises we will never keep and that others are going to make promises on us that they will never keep – and it really is not such a bad thing. People just change from that previous moment...they are not the person who made that promise, they are not the person who was able to do whatever it is they said they could do. It is just that we are human.

So if this is all so simple to understand why is it so looked down upon? (that whole breaking of a promise thing?)

Why does a broken promise still sting so much? …

And then where is the line drawn to where a person really is just some jerk who keeps who says things they know , truly know, they will never do? How can you tell the difference? The difference between a bum and a human...ah-ha!

And, yet, while all this may be fascinating, I don't believe it will ever make it all hurt any less.

...then again, you can just stop expecting things from people, although I highly doubt that would be any easier.
