I rarely say that I will do anything. Or rarely promise anything. Because I believe that a man of integrity must do his best to stick true to his words, or at least appear to do so. All my life I've seen people who say that they would do this, or do that, become this, become that, go for this, go for that, not become this, not become that. Yet they do not hold true to their word.

Psyche teaches that you can tell so much about a person by how much he compromises about his own statements or promises. You can tell when someone is too comfortable bluffing other people, or bluffing himself for that matter.

Strength is not something that must be pursued on a physical level alone, but in character as well; otherwise there will be nothing great about that strength.

So yeah, I think I almost have a slight fear of making promises. Even in small things like turning up for things. But I'm still undergoing strength training, in this area too, I guess.

Resolution and strength must be developed holistically to advance one's status or character. Slip in one area, and you may be able to fool the stupid. But not everyone is stupid.
