keeping ur promises shows ur integrity....?

Yes once you promise something it is good to keep it till the end, only if the promise is worth to keep. Sometimes it can happen, we promise something with out realising its reality. For example you will meet someone in your life, you get close to him and you start to feel he is also close to you. As this kind of thinking goes on, you start to trust that person. Once the trust remains in your heart you make any kind of promise to him. it can be the promise you made to marry him. But it can happen, the person whom you known for soo much time and trusted him, turned out to be fraud. What do you do then. do you still keep up your promise to marry him?, knowing he is fraud and he is not worth for you, Can you be the saint who just promised and to keep up that promise you are ready to give you life to that man who is fraud. never. i would have not done that. I would feel it is worth to break that promise instead of surrendering my life to him.

So there are some kind of promise which could be broken. It depends on the situation. Sometimes you make promises when you are in emotional mood and when you come to reality you realise how fool you were to promise such kind.

And I totally agree, there are promises that can be kept till your last breath.

Promises are somewhat momentary and full of expectations / assumptions about natural flow of surroundings. Often it happens that the surroundings as assumed did not happen satisfactorily, and we blame a promise not kept.

Even if we promise to ourselves for something assuming some naturally happening factors,may go wrong in time.

To promise therefore is not an easy thing.it is actually a very tough decision depending on various factors to be fulfilled. It may be said that only brave people can promise truly

Keeping up to one's commitment is a very astonishing deed as factors often are not favorable.

A promiser mostly are defied by factors naturally happened till date, but done away with by some reasons out of control of the promiser. .

No promises should ever be made that won't or can't be fulfilled . A promise , like a vow is a contract on your honor , break it , and you have no honor .

At one time , honor was the utmost virtue . Now some people laugh at it .

One of the vows or promises most often broken is , " To forsake all others 'till death do us part ". Notice , it does nor say , " 'till divorce do us part " . A civil court can't release you from a vow on your god's name .

We should have the habit of fulfilling all promises.Before you promise you should be sure that you can honour it.

There are some occasions where despite all your earnest efforts,you fail.For example some times when you go outside you country ,some people ask you to bring something special from that place.Onreaching the place you find it is not readily available/out of stock.In such cases you can say sorry and explain the reason.

Yes and even giving promises shows ur integrity, but the second person should be able to understand you if somehow you can not keep the promise by showing his integrity.

I try not to make promises, but if i do then i always tell the person i will try my hardest unless I have an emergency. I always try my hardest to keep promises because I get really mad/sad when people promise me stuff and then they don't go through with it. It's like getting somones hopes up and then crushing them.

some promises are so dear to our heart and can't be broken ,i will be honest though ,i have broken a few and have paid the price

in general if i promise someone now ,i dont break it other wise if i can't keep the promise then i dont make a promise which can be broken by me

I never break a promise, I only keep the promise if I can keep it, if I can't keep it then I never make it.

Its not a simple yes no answer....

One should never make a promise one can't keep.

For example... wedding vows... till death do us part should be changed to... until one of us decides it is time for a change.

The high US divorce rate says its true.

Well, dats true if u make promises you shud keep dem---be it to self or someone else. D people who cannot keep there promise r not trust worthy, n spend there life fooling around people...fooling around themselves.

one of my cousins has this 'disease' (that's wat i call it) of making false and baseless promises....he ran away from home wid a girl, married her n came back....was so happy to marry d girl he loved so much. U wont believe me....dis girl now is someone whom he hates the most....n for no reasons.

He wants to divorce her....now do u think he is able to keep his promise wid d girl who left her family n everybody jst for him.
