if promises are like piecrusts
so are faces, hearts, doors, chairs,
bottles, walls, families,
cups, toys, pets, fists, heads,
hopes, dreams, schemes,
and many other things.

Easily made, easily broken.
I think that making piecrust is one of the hardest tasks in the kitchen. I've learned to do it and I've been told I make very good piecrust now, but it took years of practice and quite a few tough crusts before I figured it out.
To me that axiom has always seemed to be more about the value of the object and the effort it takes to follow through (the measure of the effort = strength) than then tenuous nature of the facile promise.
But maybe I'm weird.
