When you make a promise to someone, most of the time they will hold you to it. If you break that promise, then they can be hurt. Breaking a promise time after time and again after again really hurts the person you promised.
Recently, I and a friend of mine were promised something, and at first we were really excited, until that promise was delayed. Again and again we asked about the promise, but it was always "we were too busy" or "we ran out of time" or even "it was the day after break".
Every time we were denied, our trust fell lower. When you are denied something promised, you start to doubt that promise is ever going to be fulfilled. In some cases, you begin to hate the person who made the promise. You start getting this angry feeling in your stomach that means that you are so angry that you just want to scream at the person, but know it wouldn't be right.
When you finally receive that which was promised to you, you don't feel as excited or pumped up about what you were/are doing.
Sometimes, you really need to think of what you are saying when you make promises...and if you have a certain date that you have set as a promise, make sure that you write that down and keep that promise, or someone could be hurt.
