When a guy use to like a girl or the other way round, usually one of the them with make up funny promise; like, I love you forever , there is nothing can replace you in my life , I will hold you until the end of the world. bla bla bla.
But how many of them can actually hold to what they promise, or how long they can keep what they said. How hard it is to hold them on. How terrible it is to hold it. Had people start to realize it? Just because of the promise said before...
What is the reason for them to keep to their promise? Because it is really true? How much of them? Because wanted to show others what you are? How real it is? Because you wish to tell the only one something but you can't.
There is too many of fake in this world wish make the real looks fake too...
It really takes a very strong will to hold it on. And the people who realize this are always have a big problem in life. Either they don't make any promises, or they take the whole life for it until the last day, and may get nothing at all.
The day I make a promise to myself, I knew I will waste my whole life for it. It is like dropping a coin into the deep sea, it is final, and there is no return. And again i will stuck myself back into terrible time... all the time...
The takes a great price to whoever wanted to do the same, have a true promise, a life time promise. And it take a great price too for the one who want to believe in it.
The worst thing is even if we take the whole life to hold the promise we made, the keep the words we say, hardly , madly, and yet the one he or she will believe, but they don't even take it seriously at all.
As I always say , and all of them who knew and doing the same thing as I did
I mean what i said, it is true and it will be. Whatever it takes, whatever happen.
As long as I am living , and even there is no one left on the last day of it,
And even you don't care at all,
I promise........
hi there,
回复删除u have a big philosophy about what "promise" are for you. i read a few times and tried to understand about your point of view on "promise".
from your inner voice, i heard that you do not believe people can hold on to a "promise". well, i can only guess that you may have bad experience on being promised by someone or you have promise someone but either way, no promises are fulfilled unfortunately. doesn't matter my guessing are correct or not, i just feel that you may think that once we make a promise, we should make sure that at least we try to keep the promise. am i right?
i would like to share with you my point of view about promise. you can disagree with me, but it is just another way of seeing things.
first of all, ask yourself how important you think about words that you said, either to yourself or to other people. how many times you said something to yourself and then you broke the promise? eg. let say you promised yourself to quit smoking, how many times you said that to yourself and then you broke the promise? and how often you promised your friends that you will keep in touch with them but you didn't pick up the phone and send them a short message? all these questions are to help you to see how important your words are to you. lets look in ourselves first to see what in our life we give priority to....think about it...
and, could you name me anything in this world that are permanent? is there anything you know of that we can keep forever? my answer will be, NOTHING. no need to mention about relationship. we can only MAINTAIN the relationship and improve the relationship. any relationship..family/friends/boyfriend/girlfriend/colleagues etc...any relationships that we come across of are actually a present..a gift..a treasure that so special..so unique..that it is so vulnerable...so fragile that it will just gone or disappear from our life in seconds. doesn't matter what you promised, what you did, or what you said, if we never learn to maintain and improve it, we might have no second chance to treasure and appreciate the relationship that we created with someone. so, my words to you will be..."treasure those you love when they are with you so that when they are gone you will not regret for not treasuring or appreciating them"...
i will not ask you not to make any promises, but, if you do make a promise to yourself or to other, you'll keep the promise. if you know for sure you will not keep the promise, then don't say it. be true to yourself, as well as to others. do not say something that you do not mean it. because this may bring hurt to yourself or to others as well. SAY IT ONLY WHEN YOU MEAN IT!
that's all for this time. such a loooooong lecture...hahaha...
I do agree with what's Sook Fong said. Promise.. if you not able to hold it, please do not ever say it out.
回复删除I met a guy, who has promised his girlfriend to make clear all the relationship with other girls. But what he did was, he has forgotten all when his girlfriend went overseas... His girlfriend realised that he has another girlfriends since her departure.. Feel hurt and sad. Her 1st love, his the N love. She treats he as the most important people than her family members.
Once promise was broke, everything is going to the end and meaningless.
Just to say, if you really mean to give a promise, you yourself have to ensure that you manage to hold it..
In our life, not only love between girlfriend and boyfriend.. there still have love in a family.. love among friends..
Like Sook Fong's words.. Treasure whatever you have now.. whoever company beside you.
Treasure.. ^^
