The most common term used by people today came from a proverb used by Arabians, "A promise is a cloud; fulfillment is rain." Essentially this means that words mean nothing without the promise or action behind them. In the 'Utterly Perfect Murder' by Ray Bradbury, Doug is insane. However when Doug tries to take revenge on his childhood murderer, Ralph, he stands at his door with a gun in his pocket, facing a quandary. Doug could not shoot him although he had been planning this murder for weeks now. When Doug left, Ralph was in a state of shock confused and conscience-stricken. Although the reader was not able to identify what Ralph would have been like after his unexpected meeting, the reader could assume that Ralph was fearful and guilty, making him a more careful, and caring person.
