For Friday and Monday

For Friday

Well, to assume that we do not know if it's true that we have a right to have our promises kept, we probably do whatever it is those around us are doing. So I am not sure if wording it as a "group decision" would be the right way. But maybe more of an influence of some kind. For example if people are wearing a certain trend, it is most likely, that others will start wearing the same thing. Though it may be unconscious it seems more of an influence than a group decision. It may just be that I am not seeing the bigger picture, so please do open my eyes if I am not seeing it your way. I just think that if we are surrounded by those who do not know if it is true or not, then we, ourselves, will not know if it is true. I do think though that it COULD possibly be a good group discussion. If everyone were to get together and talk about what makes it true and what makes it not true there will always be a discussion where as making a decision would be hard because not everyone is going to agree. People, individuals as themselves, do not need to adhere to anything unless they believe in it or have some kind of passion for it.

To know that we have the right to have promises kept, to me, it seems like we also would have to adhere to the promises we say we will give to others. For if WE have the right to have OUR promises kept, WE must in turn keep OUR promises to others as well. To believe that WE should only have OUR promises kept would be a huge contradiction in this whole belief of promises.



For MONDAY

I'll be back. =]
