Weβre given a conditional statement that tells us when itβs okay to break a promise:
If the person we made the promise to says itβs okay to break it, or if we canβt fulfill the promise due to a situation outside our control, then itβs okay to break a promise.
We need to find the right application of the principle. We can prove conclusions about when itβs okay to break a promise, but we canβt prove anything elseβe.g. when we should keep a promise.
If either condition is satisfiedβeither the person we made a promise to says we can break it or we canβt fulfill the promise due to outside forcesβthen we can conclude itβs okay to break the promise.
