Why do people say things they don’t mean? Why do people make promises that they know they will not keep? Why people even boast about things that they cannot do? You tell me, “I’ll call you back in an hour” then I stay awake waiting for your call and then you call me back two days later. Do you live in an alternate universe where an hour is two days later? Did you forget? Did your airtime finish? Or are you just inconsiderate of other peoples’ feelings? Some might ask, “Why didn’t you just
