Was chatting with a friend just now and we discussed what happen when you are forced to keep a promise made some time back, and something happened during the period of time when the promise was initially made and the time where you have to fulfill it. We decided that 'awkward' would best describe the whole situation.
The best solution is none other than to call it off and explain to those invilved politely; but there are situations where you can simply call things off and explain. Especially when all involved are trying to maintain the surface harmonious relation. Then the only choice is exercise your face muscles and smile the way through~put up a good play since you can't escape it. If you are not happy in the situation, at least you are contributing in making others happy.
My friend said, and i quote: "Hypocrisy? No no no. Dear, it's life. Welcome to the real world. "
But deep down in my heart, i pray that when i make a promise or when a promise is made to me, it would be sincere and no difficulties shall occur in keeping the promise. If a promise needs to be forced to be kept, then it might as well be cancelled.
That's my 20 cents before zzzzz........ night n dream the sweetest of dreams.

That's why think thrice before making promises and we keep promises we make.
ReplyDeleteSheepish smile to keep fake harmony is not on my list of to-dos at all. I rock through life and so should you.....
P.S. Drag the person to the midle of the streets and have them shot.
