We begin life with few obligations.
We pledge allegiance to the flag.
We swear to return our library books.
But as we get older we take vows, we make promises, we get burden by commitments, to do no harm, to tell the truth and nothing but, to love and cherish till death do us part.
So we just keep running up the tap until we owe everything to everybody and suddenly think … what the.
We take one little oath, and suddenly we’re drowning in obligations.
So we do what any sane person would do.
We run like hell from our promises, hoping they’ll be forgotten.
But sooner or later, they always catch up.
And sometimes you find the obligation you dread the most isn’t worth running from at all.
