Don't believe someone when they say to never hurt you. Be smart enough to know that no body can keep that promise forever

Broken vows are like broken mirrors they leave those who held to them breeding and staring fractured and image of themselves.

-Richard Paul Evans-

I extend my humble greetings to everyone in the house. I hope everyone is doing good? I am so excited to meet with you once again, your presence means a lot to me.

Today we are going to look at what really makes people to break the promises they made. Like it is said humans are humans, human beings are not God, they have the humans nature, So it's only God that we should think he will never break the promises he made to us through our forefathers. But when it comes to humans making promises to others, there most always be a scratch somewhere, humans are humans once things are out of their control there is nothing they need can do against it.

Promise which can be seen as a process where by a person assures one another, that he or she will not do this, or he will not do that. Promise is a kind of giving someone a hope, making someone to trust on what you have said that you will do or will not do. Promise can also be seen as someone giving one another an expectations which is very important to them.

In the other hand promise can be seen as a oath or vow that two persons goes into. They are promise that people make with an agreement like if you do this, this is what will happen, or if you can help me out, this what I will do. Mostly some of the people that do make promises are those who needs power and they will saying anything that will sounds good to our hearing, or those who are into courtship, dating and others. This are people making some promise like if you can sacrifice your time by waiting for me to finish with my studies, I will marry you in return.

Most of the promises that people made involve paying back. Sometimes disappointment do comes in when it is time for one to redeem the promises they have made to each other, paying back time is when I am so so sorry for not been able to keep the promise I made with you. Or something like I am so so sorry it wasn't meant for us to be together. But this sounds so funny at this point the only thing that will comes in will be heart break and discomfort. My question is if you were in such shoe what will you do?

But to me since I know that humans are humans that they can definitely change anytime, I will just encourage myself and move on, knowing that it is the promises that they broke, they are not breaking my life. The only assured that they would! Since they couldn't fulfill their promises, that is all right. We always learn lessons in every thing that happens to us, be it good or bad, we must derive an important lesson from it.

Promise can be broken just as fast as they were made. People can make promise to one another within a seconds and they can also break it a seconds, it takes people nothing to break the promises they made. Nothing last for not even the life we live, you can see someone being well healthy today and tomorrow you can't see them anymore, that's even the hand works of God that doesn't last forever talk a lot of promises that people will just agree between one another.

What only happens when people break the promises, it's either you will feel how your loyalty is being totally betrayed, or your trust as being betrayed. I can say in most cases like in courtship trust normally breaks promises, it could be one another could feels that his or her trust is for granted.

This may cause a lot of so many things. Broken promises to a lot of people who were so madly in love with one another can resolve to so many things, it's will only take someone some times to gets well, and also to return back to his or her normal self.

There are reasons that makes people to break their promises as we are going to look at it. Those reasons are;

Inability to reach those expectations we vow to keep

Inability to reach to some expectations we promised people that we will make it up them can easily lead to broken promises, both in courtship and in normal friendship. Let's look at courtship first, it could be we promised our partner that we will buy them so so thing by the month end, and unfortunately we couldn't meet up our target and we keep procrastinating on it without being able to open up to them.

In normal friendship it could be we borrowed money from them and we really assured them that we are not going to fail them but unfortunately we fail to reach the expectations we made, and this lead to broken promises.

Being careless about some certain things

Carelessness being the most destroyer can break a promises, if you are a person that always careless about some certain things, when you see something that you suppose to take action you still keep it and become careless about it, the worst will come to the worst one day where you wouldn't be able to ignore it anymore. Carelessness doesn't really help in a relationship.

Lack of commitment

Like we normally use to say, it is only change that is constant. People change and promises are broken, people can change anytime, people can become tired of certains commitment they used to carried out before. And when commitment lacks in a particular relationship it is not making sense at all, people can really promise what they know they will not be able to do it, but they are just doing it to make one another to feel exited, which in the other hand when he fails to do exactly, that is when the broken promises will comes it.

Some people make promises because the benefits attached to a particular thing they need. Sometimes promise are broken not intentionally, but it could be they have forgotten about it or don't have what it takes to keep to their words.

I agree with you friend, some people might not really have what it's takes to still keep to what they said.

A wise man once said, never make a promise when you are happy, cause sometimes we say we can't do and at the end of the day, we either go out of our way and do it or we are given a bad name.

I really love the wise man saying, when we make a promise when we are happy because we might promise what we wouldn't be able to fulfill.

So many people make promises in the heat of the moment. They have expectations that made them think they can keep to it forgetting that life happens and things change quickly. It's why they have warned us never to speak or make promises when we are either too happy or too sad. Those decisions cannot always be back up. On the flip side, lack of integrity makes a lot of people fail to honour their promises.

That's really a point you are making, lack of integrity can really cause people not to be faithful in redeeming their promises..
