What're your questions for the world?

EXTRA INFO ABOUT THE SITE:

Hey! This blog is about asking questions that're on my mind or that people may ask me. These are not little questions really and they can have multiple answers so feel free to answer them as you see fit. The whole point of the site is to have people think about the world and the way things are. If you don't agree with something I've said tell me why with a comment (you have to have a google account), but please don't use that as a way to be obnoxious. Everything is pretty much up in the air when it comes to what you think and how you feel about something so I can't really set down any guidelines other than don't be too judgmental of another comment or of something I may have said.

Stay open-minded and hear people out. =]

Hope you enjoy and don't criticize what I'm trying to say too harshly. Although of course I'm open to criticism and debates. =]

Also...Email me @: tomiahayes@yahoo.com if you have a question you'd like to have posted on the site. Remember they have to be versatile and have many possible answers and they can't be...child-ish.

What: Is A Promise?

       I've always been told that keeping a promise is the one thing you should always do. My brother doesn't realize this but one day he will get the $50 I owe him, we made a deal, a type of promise, or oath, and I'm going to give him the money I owe him. My parents always tell me that if they promise me something they'll do whatever they can to make it happen, because of that statement I wish they'd promise me a lot of things. Maybe then I would feel a lot better about the things they tell me. Maybe I'd trust it a little more. Really...What is there to trust? Parents say things they don't mean all the time...They say tell their children that they say things they don't mean, but what could they be talking about? The things the child holds on to, keeping them close to their hearts, or the not so meaningful things? What a question...

       A promise is sacred. An oath you give to someone. It's something for the person to hold on to. When you break a promise you break someone's spirit...You break their heart really. So why break a promise? Why promise something at all if you know you can't keep that promise in the first place?...So many questions. 

       I feel like I'm venting in this so I'm going to end here. Tell me. What IS a promise?
