I am reminded of a line from Saiyuki, “that it’s easy to become a Buddha, all you have to do is die.” or Lift’s line in Oathbringer where she says “Nobody gets old with out ruining a whole bunch of lifes” The point is that there’s one sure way to make sure you never break a promise, and that’s to never give one. But if you are always holding yourself back from doing something because of fear of messing up, are you even really living?
