covenant

Description

A covenant is a ritual that confines mutual distrust into strings of text and issues tickets to future conflicts. The clauses, adorned with grandiose rhetoric and legalese, serve to supply countless excuses for breach. While proclaiming justice and equality, the true contest is decided by the power of finances and the cunning of lawyers. Yet, the moment parties profess their consent by signature, they unwittingly create the purest proof of mutual suspicion.

Definitions

• A parchment that transforms parties’ doubts into ink and paper, supplying excuses for future courtroom theatrics.
• The more unread clauses you add, the more seeds of cumbersome disputes you plant in this sacred text.

• A modern relationship-ruining device where parties unconditionally cede interpretive power upon signing.
• An insurance policy justifying exorbitant litigation costs when quantitative terms like deadlines or payments go unmet.
• The indispensable magic key lawyers whip out in legal dramas to reconcile conflicting arguments.
• A license granting investigative powers in the name of justice each time a breach-of-contract crime is alleged.
• A cyclical engine claiming to lead discord to reconciliation yet in truth spawning new negotiation fodder.
• A declaration of opening a legal battle, turning a vow on paper into prime-time entertainment the moment it’s broken.
