The promise that started it all

A Promise is to assure someone that one will definitely do, give, or arrange something; undertake or declare that something will happen. But, not all individuals maintain their promises; husbands that break their promises of forever by cheating on their wives;friends that break promises of loyalty by joining the enemy;parents who promise to love their children only to abandon them when they are most needed.
The list of promises broken are never-ending even I too have broken a promise, but.......
this damned promise that started this mess refuses to be broken!!!
