think now and then of the book we used to talk about writing - about our life/lifestyle, because we thought it was so good (rofl!)

Maybe I should write it, and another - How NOT to Leave Your Partner.

Title: Amazing.. (well not really)
Why is it that some peoples' words/promises/stated intentions are so unsubstantial and fleeting?

Like someone who says that they will always honour and repay a debt to you, but when that debt is called upon (in the timeframe originally agreed) they try every trick in the book to get out of it.

Once again I've had it proven to me, as it has been to others many times, that some peoples' promises are as fleeting as the seconds through which our lives pass, and are not to be trusted. They might mean what they says at the moment they make the promise, but when that moment has gone so has the good intent. Where is the integrity? - there appears to be none. And they wonder why people mistrust them/don't believe what they say...?

Perhaps it's in part because they want the world to work 'their' way, and the only way to make that happen is tell each person in front of them what they (that person) wants/needs to hear - problems occur however when what is said is contrary to what others are told, or there is actually no intent/truth/committment to what is being said. Lies/mistruths in these situations invariably come back to haunt the one who has spoken them. They have no-one except themselves to blame, and whilst they are aware of this they often seek to blame others for the results/consequences when they are revealed for what they are.

I know now that it is folly to have faith, trust and believe someone who has been exposed as lying to me once, for they will invariably do so again. Yet another 'lesson' I've been taught that others would do well to take heed of.
