> Interesting theory. I'd never looked at it quite like that before.<<
----Yeah, I'm told quite often how my views are different and how people hadn't thought of things that way....*shrugs*.... guess my way of thinking is out of the ordinary.....
>
> I guess I've always thought that too many people are inclined to promise without really thinking.<<--- I think your obesrvation of this is quite accurate.
> My personal motto is to never promise more than you can deliver and always deliver more than you promise.<<
---That is a good motto and an admirable one however, not all people think the same and so some, maybe many, won't have this wonderful motto. I think if we expect people to be same as us that's when we get let down-- expectations can be ones enemy sometimes......
>> I mean, you're only as good as your word, right? Apparently that belief is not as widely held as I used to believe.<<
---- Yes, I totally agree and it's sad that it's not so "widely held" as you say.
wishing you peace and comfort,
