A lot of people in the current culture we live in do not place any value on their word or honor. I don’t really blame people for this since the system we live in rewards exactly the opposite behavior.

But it does make it very hard to communicate with people when you don’t have the same vocabulary.

It seems like you and I believe a vow is something that you make and would hold yourself to regardless of circumstance. But the nature of our capitalistic society teaches us from very young age that if it will improve your standing, your finances, or your situation in some way, then it is okay to break your personal code.

With that rambling paragraph in mind, it’s not surprising when we find out that most folks don’t have a personal code and vows mean nothing more than a pinky swear.
