Absolute - not dependent upon external conditions for existence or for specific nature, size, etc. (opposed to the term "relative")
There are relatively few things that truly excite me. Very few promises that really appeal to me. It would be foolish of me to have absolute faith in anything, unquestionably. I know that I cannot have absolute faith in any human promise; choosing to do so would be amusingly naive. I know that your word is contingent on both internal and external circumstances and I cannot hold it against you when your well-meaning promises fail to deliver.
I know that the majority of the promises that we make or that are made to us are based on present or foreseen circumstances; we are not capable of ensuring that our promises will prevail despite change in circumstance.
This does not mean that I would assume that you will not do everything in your power to bring your promises to truth just as I know that I will do everything within my abilities to make my promises ring true to the end. I suppose what I'm trying to communicate is that it really is quite silly to put one's absolute faith into people.
