should all promises be kept?

[WarHeRo]

should u honor ur promise, even if it's for someone you utterly despise

[Fake]

What if you made a promise to never keep your promises?

[steven1mac]

Should they, Yes, but in reality only about half do. The older a person gets the less likely they will keep the promises that are made.

[ṼṏẌṏḭḊ]

Nope.

[Silverlight]

No. But you also should not make promises you don't intend to keep.

But it's life and no one is perfect.

Some people will use your promises as an excuse to manipulate you.

Most people dont have time to care about others so no

[SHAZBOT]

can talk my way out of it anday >:)

depends on how big a promise and what led me to despise the person, there's only one person i despise but its not a happy story nor is it one i wish to relive by telling it.

as for promises they are like rules in my eyes some are meant to be broken and some you just don't i guess, but it should be kept if you deem the promise important enough.

is it dishonourable to break a promise? but is it then honourable to break a promise if it helps another person? just a thought, but i guess it boils down too doing what you think is right no one can judge you for that. <3

what make a promise big?

[Goldias]

Maybe, if keeping promise means he will suffer more.
Like if I promise I'll make them suffer throughly. I'll certainly keep it.

How is a parent supposed to keep their promise to their kids when the kids says to the parent please never die. And their parents say we promise. How can you keep a promise like that. You know how scared the child would be if their parent(s) died.

what make a promise big?

the level of fallout it would cause the person or distress by not keeping it i guess, each promise is different and has different outcomes if you keep or don't keep it.

i make a promise too myself that i wont drink coffee for instance, a small promise and only i am affected if i break it, but if i make a promise to another person that has put their trust in me then that's different.

basically how it would affect the other person or people you are keeping it for and the seriousness of the situation. without context of the promise its hard too give an example tbh, a good friend cheats on his gf that's also your close friend do you keep the person who cheated secret and promise not too tell the other friend or do you tell the other friend cause they deserve to know the truth?

it all goes by the persons morals and what they deem right that's what i meant by it boils down to what you think is right and no one has the right to judge you for it either way. like in the example i gave there is no happy outcome either way a friend will be hurt. its surprisingly easy how quickly things can get out of hand <3

A man is only as good as his word.

[TGC> The Games Collector]

What good's a promise if you're not going to stick to it?

[Patchy (sick)]

Absolutely no.

Depends on the circumstances

I've had to work with a select few people I fundamentally disagreed with about a lot of things. We didn't get along, and we didn't like each other in the slightest- but respect is impartial to that. Without going into detail, one of them was covering me during a job. Promised he'd intervene if ♥♥♥♥ hit the fan. I promised I wouldn't leave him behind

Cut to ♥♥♥♥ hitting the fan, he kept his word, and me mine. It'd be different if he betrayed me imo- I'd have left. I guess I feel like it depends on mutual respect more than anything else
