What I dislike most in people

What I dislike most in people is when they do not keep

their words I have had many encounters with people who

do this and I must say I find it most unpleasant

I usually keep my word If I find that I am not able to

because of extraordinary circumstances, I make it a point

to tell the person involved so that he or she will not feel let

down For example if I were to tell a friend that I will come

to her house at 9 a.m but cannot do so, I will make sure I

let her know before that time so that she will not have to

wait for me in vain

However, I know from experience that many people do not

keep their word I have been kept waiting a number of

times by friends who said they will meet me at certain time

but come later or do not show up at all What is worse is

that they do not even apologize or say why they did not

keep their word These people then become less of a

friend and more of just an acquaintance I do not feel sorry

for it I am definitely better off without having to endure

further disappointments

It seems to me that some people simply say things without

meaning what they say They just utter words out of

convenience There is a man who replies “no problem” to

any request made to him He works as an

electrician-cum-plumber When we require his services we would ring him

up and invariably his answer will be “no problem” He

always promises to come the next day but almost always

he fails to show up So we ring again and he will again say

“no problem” but again he will fail to keep his words

Perhaps after a week or so he will appear to render his

services Sometimes we can wait, but more often now we

get someone else to do the job This someone else also

does not usually keep his words but at least he does not

say “no problem”

Then there is an uncle of mine who is just as bad Once

he borrowed my father’s crash-helmet promising to return

it the same evening He never did return the helmet When

asked he denied that he ever borrowed the helmet My

father decided to let the matter rest as it was an old helmet

not worth arguing over It goes to show how untrustworthy

a man can become His words mean nothing It has no

value at all

I always go by the saying “say what you mean, and mean

what you say” It seems many people can not be bothered

about saying what they mean and meaning what they say

They just say anything they like and do something else It

is impossible to trust people like this They will let you

down

It is best that we keep away from such people However

this is almost impossible to do because the whole world is

filled with them It seems to me there are more people who

do not keep their words than people who do Perhaps this

is the result of living in the modern world where people are

more concerned about making money than keeping their

words Money can kept in the bank, words cannot Money

can be used to buy things, words can’t

As for me, I would rather keep my words At least I also

keep my integrity and honesty If I do not have these two

so important things, then whatever I do in the world will

only make things worse, for I will have cheated and lied I

will become just another untrustworthy person that I

dislike I cannot allow myself to dislike myself
