Is A Promise Really A Comfort To A Fool?
Back in the day, a man would say he will do something and no question is asked for reassurance. The reason for this is, if he didn't do what he said he will do, he would be considered untrustworthy and incompetent. That is not a reputation someone who calls himself a MAN would like hanging over his head. A good reputation was like gold to protect and preserve. Sticking to your word also shows dependability and honor.
