Promise is a debt

My mother always says that when a child is still in the mother's womb, they have no issues, but once they're born into the world they have enemies. Same thing is applicable to your word, a promise

Your words belong to you and everything you own is solely yours but once you utter a word of promise, it is no longer yours. Infact, you automatically become a debtor

Making a promise is one thing, anybody can make a promise, even a mad man but fulfilling a promise is another thing. It is better not to make a promise at all than not keeping one

Never make a promise you can not keep. A promise is way beyond what people think it is, it's a bond, a covenant that must be kept
