"A promise must never be broken."

Alexander Hamilton

If promises can't be broken then don't make any in the first place. It is better to be safe rather than be sorry. Nowadays, promises have become trivial and a hassle to some. How can you avoid getting out of bad spot if you swore to never break a promise to do so. I think promises are childish and shouldn't be brought up amongst adults or anyone who has a strong influence on children. I see it as a poor excuse for hate in groups of kids and teens. The matter is only made worse when adults say it. It seems like a runaround game of who's more trustworthy and trust shouldn't be based on whether some keeps promises unbroken or not.
