KL, the capital of Malaysia. I have been staying in this city for almost more than two weeks. The main reason is to celebrate CNY together with my family here, and this time with my brother.
It had been two months since I left my second home, and of course when you go back to your home, everybody would greet you happily, asking you about your life or commenting on how much you have grown physically.
The feeling of togetherness was so deep and the bond between family members grew deeper once again.
It was great.
Then, I met my best friend here. We went out for lunch together and kept updating about the latest event that is happening in our life's.
The feeling was great as well.
But then, there is a flaw in this great feeling. I realized that when you feel great or happy, there is a flaw in this. A flaw that involves making empty promises.
I realized that when person that is so close to me promised something to me just because of the temporary happy feeling, but in the end can't fulfill it. In my mind, I have known better that a promise should be fulfill.
But it seems, taking for granted plays a role in this promise.
You know, if you are very close to a person, sometimes you have this urge to take this person for granted because you know this particular person so well, and you expect them to give in always and be okay with it.
What if that person is really looking forward to the promises that you have made?
Have you ever thought of their feeling?
Don't make a promise in the first place when you know that you can't fulfill it.
