I have thought on promises lately, as a means of creating guilt.
I feel that the only thing that promises establish is the possibility of failure and guilt. To succeed in achieving your desires, without a promise, is to do so without fear as a motivator. To fail without a promise is to have tried, without guilt. In a sense, everytime I see myself making a promise, I see myself as having already failed and trying to make up for it. I am trying now to focus on the moment, keep myself free of the need to promise. To be good because I want to, examine my desires at the moment rather than what I can do to make up for my past. Does this make sense? - D. M. -0/6-/2001
