             THE DIFFICULTY TO KEEP THE PROMISE 

         ( written by Theodorus Chresma Harry; illustrated by Bisron Anwar )

Promise is a deal or we called it as a "debt". That's the word which mostly often we heard. However the news said, that for now on the value of the promise had been decreased. Because, in communication and technology era that increase with very sophisticated, sometimes we can't pay those " debts" of our " promises". Technology makes us easy to create some plan, but it also makes it easy to cancel it.

     Some peoples said that, in this digital era, we can easily expressing our feelings. For example, you throw up your feelings by posting the words to the social media account like; " wow, I miss you,babe." and how happy ( he/she) is that indeed never see you for long time, also suddenly ( he/she) gives the respond and invites you to meet with ( him/her ). At the end, without thinking anymore, we agreed with the request. 

     At the time where the meeting was approved, suddenly you just feel so lazy to get up from the bed because you may already feel so comfortable at home. So, the promise which has made is nothing more than useless and your promise has no meaning. And you suddenly typing a massage for (him/her) which contained an apologize because you already cancelled the promise. Do you ever have some kind of that experience,maybe ?

     Samuel Mulia, is a Parody Rubric Writer in Kompas Newspaper Daily had been feels the same thing. But, he wasn't the suspect, but was a victim. "The mouth can be sweet, but no one knows the conscience said. That was my opinion when I saw the most people which has sent me a massage for lately. But, just some of them which finally was right,and they proved their words," his writing in KOMPAS  Oktober 6, 2013 ( Oktober Sixth ). 

      A shocking fact came up from the polls of opinions that was done by Women's Health Magazine in the United States.  The polls of opinions in 2012 ( two thousand twelve ) said that ,49% ( fourty nine percent ) most women cancelled their promise in the last of minutes and 6% ( six percent ) of them who has confessed always broke their promise.

     Unfortunately, Indonesia has no research about that thing yet. Only, Tara de Thouras,BA,M.Psi ( a psychologist in HOUSE Light Clinic ) said, that behavior is pretty much happened. "It can be seen from each other selves, how many times we often broke our promise and how many times our friend broke their promise to us. Especially by the social media and short massage,'' she said 

                          

                                 Because of Technology 

One of the most cause of the "Broken Promise" phenomenon was a technology. "The more sophisticated of telecommunication and information media not only make the people are easily to do some agreement or approval social A.K.A make a promise,but also make the people are prefer to underestimated the promise which has made,'' Psychologist of Clinical who had completed in ( From ) University of Indonesia. Ironic. We're also resorted must have confess that the value of the promise for now on had been descreased. 

        If we take a look to the past for a moment, when technology of communication wasn't very sophisticated like on this day, this present day, and this moment, most people were very advance and prioritize the values of the promise because it would need the big efforts. So then, people were prefer be careful on speak and act.

       Very far different from now. The sophisticated of technology makes the people will more underestimated a promise because they know that only communicating and make a promise is very simple and easy.
