Define Promises

"A promise is a between two or more persons whereby the first person undertakes in the future to render some service, gift or assurance to the others or devotes something valuable now and here to his use."

so..why make a promise when u can't realize it on time? why saying something that is not going to be realistic? 

i don't think some people know how to make and deal with a promise. an agreement is a deal, a deal is a promise. so when we already agreed with something, we should be complying to it, am i right? so if the promises are meant to be a joke to u, then don't ever make one. 

oh i am not pin pointing to anybody. i am just stating  a fact. and hoping not to be one of this. pinky promise ;p
