“Don’t make stupid oaths!” Words of wisdom spoken by Brittney this morning.
What triggered that exclamation?
Well, there is an army that goes to capture a city. They get to the city and find out that it is surprisingly and unexpectedly well fortified and protected. The generals and officers realize they can’t attack and succeed, but to rally their troops they take an oath that they will attack the next city no matter what.
They get to the next city and are even more surprised. It’s better fortified than the first one. At this point Brittney exclaims “Don’t make stupid oaths!”
Well, they attacked rather than break their oath (they had to in order to maintain credibility) and suffered terrible causalities and deaths while inflicting no deaths on their enemies.
What more can be said than “don’t make stupid oaths”?
