Fulfill the Promise
Written by: Naqeeb Ahmad Azizi
The people could help each other in their routine works when they trust each other, and if one side loses his/her trust, the confidence might decrease and causes some problems among them.
AEPO’s writer/producer has talked to some people about this issue.
Rohullah Miakhail, a resident of Bagram district, Parwan province says: “I was engaged and I wanted to run my wedding ceremony but I faced some economic problems. One of my friends had borrowed 120 thousand Afghanis from me. I asked him to give my money back. He promised that he would give me back the money after three days. I arranged my wedding ceremony on that date but he broke his promise and now I do not believe in his any promise.”
A student, Yasmin says: “one day, one of my classmates and my best friend invited me to her house. When I went there, she had gone to her relatives’ house. and lost my confidence in her”
Why do some people break their promises?
Jalat Khan, a resident of Kapisa province says: “some friends are fakes; when they achieve their goals, they would break their promises.”
Hewad rafat has left a message on Facebook: “those who break the promise, they do not know about the importance of promise, they just lose time.”
A psychologist, professor Sharafuddin Azimi says: “It’s not a promise to accept any wish of others. The first reason for promise-breaking is that we do not reject any wish but we are not able to perform it. The second reason is that we do not take the promise serious due to time and circumstances.”
How could people solve this issue?
Najla says: “I estimate with myself if I could keep my promise. If I could not perform, I do not promise to anyone.”
Professor Azimi says: “The promise is a moral issue and we should think about it before promise to do something. If we are able to perform it; we should estimate that how much help could we do. If we are not able to solve one’s problem, it is better to say no to him/her. If we promise, then we should finish it, otherwise we would lose our confidence.”
