Right to Promises

If we do not have the right to have our promises kept, then language means nothing. If we cannot count on people’s words, then our communication is pointless. People could say anything that they wanted and it would not mean anything. People would be considered contradictory and learn not to believe in truth. This would, in turn, create a world in which truth does not exist. I believe that the right to have promises kept depend upon having a particular rights. If we do not have the right to have our promises kept, we cannot expect communication or the development of truth. But, I do not think that a society could exist without this right of promises and the respect of other’s words. No foundation could be built; the society would fall apart before it could fully be constructed.
