promises to others may mean more to them than you imagine ..

The king returned to his palace on a cold night and
saw an old guard standing in thin clothes.
The king approached him and asked him, "Do not you feel cold?"
The guard replied: "I feel cold,
but I do not have warm clothes.
I have to endure the cold.
The king said to him, "
I will enter the palace now and ask one of my servants
to come in warm clothes."
The guard rejoiced in the king's promise, but as soon as the king entered his palace he forgot his promise.
In the morning the old guard was dead and beside him a paper with a trembling line:
"O king,
I used to endure the cold every night,
but your promise to me in warm clothes robbed me of my strength and killed me."

Do not fail a promise .. You do not know what is destroyed by it.
