>>>Yes, the only difference between us is that, implicitly, any agreement is voided when one of the parties substantially modifies the situation that pre-existed to the contact.
>>>In other words, Contracts can't be considered as some divine law that would apply forever.

>>It is your word that should apply forever, regardless of whether or not the other party is honorable. It's inherent in all things in our lives. We're not responsible for the choices other people make. We are responsible for our conduct around them in guiding them and teaching them and so on, but ultimately, they make the choices they're going to make and they must live with those consequences. We, on the other hand, are accountable for the choices we make.

>>When we agree to give our word on something, we should follow it through always. It's more than just a point of honor. It's truth living in us.

I think you will not come to an agreement here. Rick has his neat, and from his pov honorable, ideas.
And, I think it is not kind to use phrases like
divine law with Rick. You know he is special on that matter and has no real chance to express what he has to say about it.
Words are given to man to enable him to conceal his true feelings.
