I think it is safe to say that we all have either 1. Let someone down with words we shouldnt have said. 2. Been let down by words we thought meant more than what they obviously did. The Western culture has mastered the art of empty speech and words without much of any meaning or character attached to them. Our words and hearts are usually a few steps ahead of our reasoning and the integrity that is supposed to back such speech. In Biblical times EVERY WORD that left someones mouth MEANT something! Speech was used to bless, curse and honor with great intention. What we all have to desperately try to work on is actually meaning what we say. Thinking about what we say. Becoming so consistent in our actions that our speech is a natural and trustworthy byproduct of our behavior. Words are so empty sometimes, and seemingly worthless but this doesnt have to be the case. We can increase the value of our speech, of our promises by BEING a promise, by living with daily habits of integrity.
