Success

Say one thing...

What of their dreams, their goals, their aspirations? The hardest promise [...] is one made to ourselves. The (defendant) has let themselves down many times. Such is only to be expected. But what does that say about the value of their word to others?


Failure

Irrelevant

Appointments. Birthdays. Personal hygiene habits. They haven't always lived up to their intentions, have they? But – the (defendant) rejoins – a good intention does not bear the weight of a promise.
