We Don't Matter

My last post was about

"Convictions vs. Reason"

And I also have a post called

“Dictum Meum Pactum”

Which is about keeping one’s word

Now, I’m going to try to reconcile these three topics and

Attempt to reason why us human beings don’t 

Do what we say we’ll do

The struggle that we have in keeping our word

Is a constant topic in my life

And though my convictions insist that

WE MUST KEEP OUR WORD

Reality is quite different

Just right now I have this project

On my mind that I told an acquaintance

I would do for him and a week has passed

Without me getting back to him about it

O_O

I suck for that

I know

So given that I have this example so fresh in my mind

I can hypothesize that the reason why we don’t

Don’t do what we say we'll do

Is because we deep down inside believe that

We don’t matter

That the person we made a

Commitment to won’t really care

If we keep our word or not because

They’ll just find someone else

Or that our presence is so insignificant

That no one will miss us

Or that we’re unremarkable that what we

Say won’t be remembered by others

Or that we’re disposable, replaceable, and forgettable

This are the only reasons I can gather at the moment

To explain why we’re so flaky with our word

We don't keep our word

Because we just don't care to keep it
