What is a promise?
This is what I think promises are supposed to be. But, this is not what they are.
A promise: is supposed to important
A promise: is supposed to be something meaningful
A promise: is not just something to make you feel better
A promise: is supposed to be something serious
A promise: is not meant to be broken
A promise: is not meant to be broken by more than one person multiple times
A promise: is not meant to be thrown away
A promise: is not meant to be taken as a joke
But from my experiences,
A promise: is nothing but worthless words from people trying to make me feel better, with no success
To answer the previous question:
A promise: is just words
