If you don't plan on fulfilling them, don't make promises. Don't make promises at all.
At the end of the day you're just going to hurt others and gain a hilarious amount of nothing. What is the point of raising others' hopes and dashing them? For fun? Do you think it's fun? Or perhaps out of that weathered know-it-all adult mindset, you think it's practical? Well fuck practicality. If practicality involves being blatantly insensitive, I'd sooner throw myself off a building than conform to it like a beggar waving around an intricately ornamented shield. All surface and no depth. All appearance and no value. Such a way of things does not appeal to me one bit, and I will not buy it.
Empty promises. Abandoned hopes. These are all things that we see all around us nowadays but choose to ignore, choose to dwell in oblivion that would save us from the anguish of awareness. I don't care about the implications of your promise. I don't care what your promise carries for me to gain, or what it compromises; what I care about is how you deal with your promises and just how much sincerity (if applicable) you have when you mouth those words.
Those words aren't normal, you know. They bind you to responsibility. They bind your audience to hope. To give hope to others is you giving yourself a responsibility of sorts, and to fulfill it is your mission. Do you mean what you say? Do you?
Don't give me bullshit about just how practical things are if the promise was to be nullified - I don't give a damn, you know, I don't give a damn. If anything you should probably have thought thoroughly before making that accursed promise. You don't go around jolly and gay after which you say, "hey you know what? Now that I think about it, maybe that promise wouldn't work after all", and think that your audience will take it lightly.
You're just another bastard who drenched someone else's mood for the day. Don't give yourself excuses.
