Context: No matter whom you are or whether you know it or
not, words carry weight. When your friend is hospitalized, you mentioned you
will arrange to visit but end up did not turn up even after your friend has
discharged. There was another who did not mentioned of visiting, yet he came
and visit.
So what am I trying to say? I know you may be busy with
things, so I wouldn't ask you to visit. Rather than telling me you will visit, I
rather you speak words of encouragement etc. Don't say you be arranging and yet
none came.
In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. Just say ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.
