Promises Are Made To Be Broken...

Yes. I hate the saying. I hate when promises are not kept and they are broken. I have even done this myself and it sure does not make me feel good when it happens. I do not break a promise unless it is absolutely necessary to make things better for someone else. I do not intentionally tell someone something that was promised to keep quiet about. I do not want to hurt someone else so the majority of the time, I keep my promise to them.

Hello my friend, I beg to differ. I don't really think promises are made to be broken. I feel they should be kept, as far as possible. That's why I seldom make promises as I want to honor every promise I make.

I try not to make promises for that very reason, and when people try to get me to tell them when I will have something by, I ask them are they trying to get me to lie to them, because when I say I don't know, that's what I mean.

i have learned to "expect the worst, but don't expect." thus, unfulfilled promises don't bug me as much. - barn kinney http://barncogitations.blogdrive.com/ http://barncogitations.blogspot.com/

Most of the time i wont make any promises to anyone,But if it so happened that i will see to that i stick to it at all costs, come what ever . Itz because of it i,ve lost a lot of monetary gains. Even some of my friends wud advice to give up for the benefits, But i wudnot.So this old saying doesnot suit me.

I take my promises seriously. I hate it when people go back on promises, especially when you were really counting on them. It's dissappointing.

once you make a promise, think first if you can fulfill it. if not, then don't promise anything to a person. it will just break someone's heart or ruin someone's day. we promise because we know we can do what we promise. promises are made to be broken... a very unnecessary excuse from persons who really can't make a promise come true.

I have to agree promises made to be fulfilled.I donot make promises if dont try and keep them.Promises are made to broken is only an excuse for a person to break them.

I agree with you that promises are given in order to be fulfilled. One should not make a promise if they are not going to keep it. I have on occasion promised someone something and haven't been able to fulfill it and have apologised for it too. I also have to be very careful when it comes to my own son and not to make promises if I can't fulfill them, he remembers everything.

Yes I agree with you that promises are given in order to be fulfilled.By all means these promises must become true and be fulfilled in order to gain confidence and trust upon realizing the said promises.

Actually, making a promise is a commitment. By promising somebody you give them the reason to expect that you will fulfil it. And when you don't, it's such a big frustrations on the other person. But just like lies, there are white promises. These are the kind of promises wherein you keep the person always positive in his life. And to break that promise you must be ready with a very good reason why you did not fulfil it. And that reason must be an advantage on that person.

for those who cannot accomplish or fulfill the things they said are bound to breaking their own promises. these kind of people should be avoided for they cannot be trusted. sincerity, honesty and integrity are some keywords used to test the real essence of keeping one's promises. when you are sincere and honest i see no reasons at all why you opt not fulfill what you said to someone else. i believe that promises should not be made broken...

I thnik you are right. A promise is made to be kept in my eyes. At least this is what I am trying to do. Old sayings are sometimes stupid. I remeber another old one whcih was saying: "Who bend his head will not be shortened by the enemy". I totally disagree with this one too.

This is a excuse for those who did not fulfill their promise. Some people also follow the similar sentence about the law are make to be broken. Ok, if everything under such excuse, there will no human culture at all.
