Keeping Your Word in a World of Broken Promises

If someone makes a promise to me I usually make a note of it and then check back if I don't see any follow through. If in the end they don't keep their promise I erase it from my mind. I decided a long time away not to poison my own system by holding a grudge. I simply move on and find a person I can trust.

"Yes" should mean "yes" and "No" should mean "no."

Betrayal has become the normal experience in far too many people's lives. A disregard for keeping your word has been elevated to the new art form! It seems the more scandalous a person becomes the more popular and admired they are. What a sad commentary on our world today!

On the other hand, can you imagine how wonderful life would be if people merely said "yes" when they meant "yes" and "no" when they meant "no"? When someone said, "You can count on me," they meant exactly that.

Isn't it time the pendulum swung back toward credibility, trust, and honor? Isn't it time "My Word Is My Bond" becomes the "law" of the land once more?
