Promises are made to be broken

[dr_knockers]

Really it is nice to hear any promises in life and as much as possible we wanted these promises would always come true and would always been fulfilled. But it is too good to be true because more often than not it never happens. And the sad part, some promises were just made but never kept.

I must also admit that I did some promises and broke them.

Share your thoughts. :)

hello dk,

here's a short poem for you ...


Broken promises are all I know,
Feelings of sadness are all I show,
Being hurt I know so well,
But of course he can not tell.

The promises he makes it seems he never keeps,
It stabs in my heart hard and deep,
Then anger sets in and clouds my mind,
My heart is fragile, needs to be treated kind.

I could probably find better,
If he found someone else, he could probably get her,
He is so much like one I had long ago,
But they are some what different deep down below.

The broken promises hurt my heart,
When will the feelings he express truly start?

*sino ba yang pinangakuan mo,
na di mo natupad?hehehe... maki-chikka ba?
dyoke..... :D
*Mahirap talaga ang mangako
lalo na at di mo ito kayang tuparin..
mas mainam na sigurong wag kang mangako,
ng wala ng tao pang aasa na masasaktan lang
sa bandang huli .....

Yes I made a promise to someone, which totally hurt his feelings when that promise was left undone. The promise which wasn't meant to be broken, that same promise which I lent to the other one.

But I think it is much more worse if you dind't let him know, that the promise you gave to him turns to letting go. If you can't make it up atleast say I'm sorry, without letting him anticipate, feel down and weary.

Promise to yourself before making a vow, dig your heels to it so you won't hurt somehow.




P.S I'm sorry,
the promise I made wasn't meant for you

I first encounter this saying "Promises are made to be broken" from a friend during college time. Seems she always encounter people who promises her things, and later only to be disappointed. To her, promises are only words with little value, no hope to expect.

When I first heared it from her, I felt uneasy, strikened. I want to get angry and ask,"why the distrust?", "had I failed you before?". But I saw from her that things were just natural. So I felt very sorry for her instead.


Why? because our beliefs were totally contrast. For me then, (untill now)," promises are something sacred". Alam naman natin ang mga parents at matatanda, strictly teaches us to value/honor our words. Its one way of saying that we have to be sensible to other feelings. Mahirap nga naman para don sa mga umaasa/nag aalala

i guess your friend only need to lower her expectations. we can't really expect promises to be fulfilled cuz in time, we grow as a person and our feelings can change. but to the people who make those promises, i think they should mean what they say or better left it unsaid if they are uncertain of their promise.

not all promises are bound to be broken.....it's not the promise affirmed that breaks loose it's the person that nailed the promise.....I've been a victim with a few of my friends, we'll go there....we'll have that....pledges are soaring and then later in the day they will not even dare to show up and fix up the broken pieces...so I have made it to a point never call for a promise till am pretty sure with my ground that I can stand for it...mahirap na tawagin kang "walang isang salita" 'word of honor" brings about the person deep within you.:)

Actually i also lower down expectations depending on the people involve. Somehow you should know whose talking. From there atleast you can ready your heart for the other side expectation.

To some degree eh mahirap din naman kasi. It is not a plain chit-chat words di ba? Somehow its already an agreement, a sealed contract verbally. Without accomplishing a promise intentionally, without proper apology, is a clear sign of deliberate indefference/insensitivity to others.

I just hope your friend can get past all the broken promises and finds way to give it a value again, we all know the pain it causes. The point is, don't spoil or don't sour your next experience just because of the last bad one.

Actually there is no wrong in making promises, it is all part of the hope that the future will actually happen. Without hope we actually dont have progress.

I think you are exactly right Infinite, if you are not certain of your promise just keep it unsaid. :)

Sad to hear your story hayaren, it seems that you never want to hear any promises ever again. :D why not we take it this way, if we heard pomises from someone we know, immediately we may tell them to please take it back if he/she is uncertain of it.

However sometimes, there are good and acceptable reasons why we should need to break a promise. But still keeping a promise is indeed admirable. :)

@dr knockers....well its so happened that I am surrounded with unprofessional people yet not to random those few who are really true to their words though I am dealing cooly with these people and the next time around certainly I don't take their words seiously because time and again you'll discover the same approach "lip service"...thanks for pin pointing a note to ward this issue:)
