avoiding consequences

how often do you make empty promises?

i find that i make so many. especially at goodbyes. "i'll come back and visit!" "i'll call you next time i'm in town" "i'll see you soon"

i'm not going back to visit. i'm not going to call anyone since i'm not gonna be back in town. i'm not going to see them soon. possibly not going to see them ever. (this is about reno btw.)

but we say these things to not offend. to avoid the consequences of our actual feelings. probably.

i might just say them so that i can run away faster. :]

oh and i learned something today

8=D

guess what that is. if you know already then you're not allowed to play. if you dont know and you guess you and i might need to have a talk.

A promise (also called troth) is a psychological contract indicating a transaction between two persons whereby the first person undertakes in the future to render some service or gift to the second person or devotes something valuable now and here to his or her use. A promise may also refer to any kind of vow or guarantee.

unless it's empty.
