A Promise

“A promise must never be broken.”

Alexander Hamilton

What this means is that if you say you will then you must. You cannot go against your word. You will be committed to what you say and you will do it. For example you tell your mom “I will clean the dishes” and you proceed to do so then you have made a commitment and you did what you said you would do. Now if you didn’t do what you said you would that would be an empty promise it’s just saying i will but not actually doing it. There is no honor in lying about what you will do.
