I was having a conversation with a friend and he asked me - "if someone promised you money, can you press them to fulfill the promise?"
I thought hard about it. Promises are made with good intentions. But sometimes, things happen that makes fulfillment impossible or delayed. However, you can send a reminder to the person in good conscience. You shouldn't be dragging them to fulfill the promise.
This is a counter to Frank Underwood who stated that, 'the nature of promises is that they are immune to changing circumstances.' This means that regardless of your personal issues or situation, you remain obligated to fulfil a promise made.
I understand the nature of humans and that is why I don't make promises. On the flip side, it is unfair to raise people's expectation with a promise, only to let them down, especially where that promise was made publicly.

This is my personal belief and no one should personalize it.
I have long held this notion that in having children, two is company and three is a crowd.
That's why I have two children.
Let me see how they can ever betray or envy themselves.
Or not love themselves.
