How Do You Remember A Promise That You Made A Year Ago.

What should I do when I do not remember a promise taken at an age below 12?

You remember that you had promised something to your ownself. You remember it happened before you turned 12. Having served yo to this extent, your memory leaves you. It must not have been important or of no consequence to you , therefore the forgetfulness. This memory lapse has not put you to any hardship. Why bother then and feel guilty. 12 is not an age of serious commitment, even to oneself. Even in the eyes of law you were a juvenile and not to be punished for the lapse.FORGET, if you can, in fact you should and be at peace with yourself.

What was the last promise you made?

“I won't eat the rest of the wedding cakes. “My friend had a beautiful expensive Nigerian and Swedish wedding ceremony and reception. The wedding was in bright traditional clothes. The reception everyone wore boring western clothes. Oooo the food was glorious! I ate a little bit of the cake but then it was all gone. Don't worry we have a second defrosted wedding cake.Everyone was given individuals cakes and not everyone wanted this parting gift because gluten. I took some cakes off some hands. I have no shame. I have six mini wedding cakes in my fridge. They are covered in fondant filled with strawberries and chocolate ganache. They have flowers and fruit made of marzipan. I already ate half of the second one.Multicultural Nigerian & Swedish Wedding in Stockholm ... Image Source munaluchibridal

Do all boys forget and break the promises they made to an ex when they were in love with her?

Well i broke up with my ex three years ago. It was June of 2014. It was a 5 year old relationship. Forgetting her wasn't easy. I was kind of depressed for the next 6 months. But slowly and steadily i started to get her out of my thoughts. I got used to the habit of living without her. After a couple of years, i seldom used to think of her. And today i am so busy that only such questions remind me that i had a girlfriend named XYZ.But, still, i remember the promises i made to her. Last month i received my first salary as a resident doctor. And it immediately reminded me of the promise i made to her that i ll buy her a diamond solitaire with my first salary. Although I cannot fulfill my promise anymore (because she is in a relationship with someone else), but i still remember my promise.

If I made a promise in front of god, should I have to keep the promise in every rebirth of life?

we do not remember anything about our past lives. So it is not possible that you will remember a promise you have made in any previous life.On the other hand, if you have made a promise to God say, that you will not consume alcohol and you have kept this promise for several decades in that life despite temptations and stuck to your promise right till your death, then it is possible that the practiced vasana of not touching alcohol will be carried over to your next life and you will not be attracted to alcohol.It is not the memory of a promise that is carried over but the vasanas developed by you. If you practice living a life of morality - which is nothing but sticking to promises made to God - you will carry on all the good habits to your next life.

Is it okay to forget a boy you made a promise to when you were five if they don't remember?

This reminds me a little of the question “if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound”. A different concept altogether I realise, but a similar conundrum.Taken that a promise is a word of honour, an oath or pledge, then in the spirit of that commitment it still remains, regardless of circumstance. A somewhat old fashioned view I am aware but then I am an idealist and strive for that pureness of heart.But should your age revoke that promise because you did not have the maturity to envision future circumstances where you were forgotten? Well most 5 year olds offer promises like confetti thrown at a wedding; in all directions with happy abandon, landing to fade and disappear away and forgotten. I think probably so.And if the boy has forgotten there was an even a promise? Well I imagine the promise fading away, no longer a tangible ideal to be committed to but just a thought that dissipates with time and is no longer recalled or remembered. By anyone.

What promise did you make to your dying parent that you couldn't keep? How did it make you feel?

When I was seven years old, my father took me to Paris.For him this was an important business trip. I’m not sure why he decided to take me along.I remember the two of us talking like adults.I remember tasting caviar. He gave me a bit on a little pancake and waited. Then, a bit on a potato.He leaned back and asked me how I preferred to eat it. I said “with a spoon.”He burst out laughing, then recounted this story for years.I remember having hot chocolate sitting on the terrace of a beautiful hotel room. On the tray they brought in a silver pitcher of frothy milk and a pitcher with melted chocolate, then poured a bit of each one into my cup. I could not believe my eyes.Hot chocolate has never tasted like that again.I remember being a little girl dressed in red sitting among grey suited men smiling at me. In business meetings today, I have to remind myself that regardless of how I feel, others do not perceive me as that anymore.A day before my father died we reminisced about that trip. My father had dementia and no short-term memory; but if he talked about something that had taken place a long time ago he was himself again.“Dushka,” he said. “Let’s go to Paris. Just you and me.”I took a look at him. His liver was distended and riddled with cancer — he looked like he was pregnant. He was jaundiced. He could not stand. He could not make it to the bathroom, much less a trip across an ocean.But, this conversation, one of our last, was in effect taking place in another time. I did not have the heart to shatter the illusion that this was something plausible.“Let’s do it,” I said. “Paris. You and me.”He died the next day.I know I need to go to Paris. I need to go to that hotel and order the hot chocolate and sit on the terrace overlooking the city.I haven’t done so because I am so very afraid I will not find him there.
