commitment

whenever i hear the word commitment, i always think what that word really means and how does each one of us embody it.

Encarta dictionary defines commitment as something that takes up time or energy, especially an obligation. furthermore it added that it is a dedication, or a devotion.

Wikipedia, on the other hand, states that commitment as interaction dominated by obligations. These obligations may be mutual, or self-imposed, or explicitly stated, or may not. 

but if you will be asked, WHAT IS COMMITMENT, do you know what your answers be?

commitment, as how i define it, is more than just engaging in a relationship, being true to that person, thinking that person is the only one all through out your lifetime. commitment is more than just being devoted, being dedicated to be with the person for eternity. more so, commitment isn't just about doing things that can and should make the other person you are committed to to be happy.

this one word encompasses life and everything about one's whole being. it's not only staying with that person, but rather being with the person. it's not only being true and thinking that person is the only one, but rather, it is a promise of remaining, whatever life offers. it's not just spending time with that person, but rather it is bequeathing one's both time and effort to make the relationship even stronger.

there's more to commitment rather than the physical engagement. it includes the two persons' whole beings, embodying them to become one.

so now, may i ask, WHAT IS YOUR COMMITMENT?
