Breaking promises.
These were the last words of a young single mother shortly after before she took her own life in june 2021. It leaves one to imagine the kind of heartbreak and pains she had been through as regards to an important promise that was broken by someone she holds dear.
Going through with suicide despite being a mother to a young child that is expected to give her hope and courage to survive simply shows the extent of her misery.
Making false promises to someone just to keep them or having your fun with them especially when you know you don't have feelings for them is absolutely wrong and inhumane. I only wondered how many betrayals she had been through in the past, before deciding to end it all.
Hurting others by breaking the big promises you made to them is indeed a great sin just like any other terrible sin. Especially when the person had good intentions towards you and never did anything bad to warrant such a disgrace.
Such a betrayal would definitely meet his karma in the nearest future and also incur the wrath of God in the afterlife.
It's quite disappointing that alot of folks are fond of giving others false hope by making promises that they have no intention of fulfilling. What makes this more appalling is that you were never forced to promise anyone anything . As a matter of fact, I have observed that alot of people who go back on their words had made the promise on their own accord without being cajoled.
I understand that sometimes, we just have to promise something to an unhappy friend or loved one just to cheer them up and make them feel better. It might be that we might even forget about what was promised as soon as they are out of our sight. Not carrying out your words could even make them feel worse afterwards.
Even if you had been under pressure about making a promise that you think you wouldn't be able to keep, it is always more honorable to admit that the circumstances are beyond your control as soon as you find out that things might not go as planned. Even if the person becomes dissapointed at you, they'd definitely realize that you meant well when they later calm down. And ofcourse, they'd later come to respect you for not taking them for a ride. Your words would always be trusted afterwards since you have proved that you are an individual with integrity.
We all have had personal experiences of tonnes of unfulfilled promises made to us by a parent, sibling, friend, or colleague. I have come to observe that in most cases, we don't feel bad not because we couldn't get what was promised but because the person whom we had trusted so much had dissapointed us again.
Personally speaking, this is one of the reasons why I hardly promise, not even to a child, so that I wouldn't be portrayed in bad light if things don't work out. I simply tell the individual that "I will see what I can do to help"or "I will try to help you to the best of my abilities". No one really know what might happen the next minute and how favorable conditions might be. And if I couldn't deliver, I wouldn't be afraid to tell them about it and in most cases they come to understand.

Thanks for reading.
I couldn't read the writing because of the language, but wow, I think suicide has to be seen as the result of a disease and not as a coldly thought-out act, that is, no matter how programmed it is. has been, behind it is depression, any mental or emotional disorder that has not been treated. Perhaps that person was struggling not to do it, but his mind played tricks on him
