promises/claims?

two different words, can be used in the same context.

promises are made and broken. claims are made and sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't. now isn't it easier to give words that can be claimed (or not) rather than making promises that you will break? you choose.

see, I find it hard to believe in promises. because like claims, promises are just words. don't make it more than that if you don't plan on keeping it. or easier, don't promise. but unlike claims, promise always resides deep in a person heart. it's something they hold on to. that's what life is supposed to have. promises that can be trust. and everybody wants a good life.

on the other hand, claims are easier to break because it's not a promise and people won't be too hurt by it. because you know, some claims you can have but some of them you can't. you might get a claim from your boss. but maybe not from a friend or family or acquaintance. when you talk about claims, you're never really sure you'll get it. it's not that hard. rather than "I promise.", change it to "I try." or "I will do my best" until you really believe you can make it a promise.

make the change. make world a better place. make life easier for others. you don't change the world in a finger-snap or a blink of an eye. it takes time.

that's why I love words. or maybe because that's all I have to keep.



p/s. DO NOT use claims as an escape route, or for your entertainment. only use them for uncertainties. it's better to promise BUT only if you DO mean it.
