One thing I cannot stand is witnessing or being subject to betrayal.
When trust is given to an ally or friend or family member and is not only unappreciated but actually used as a way to bring about your demise, it is one of the worst features of human nature.
Why do we betray people? Why do we take advantage of the trust given so freely to us?
Is it human nature of the common variety or are those who conduct themselves freely in this fashion just the scum of human kind?
Whether in love, or sport or the battle, whether in the workplace or in your social circles, betrayal is only one simple action away and is always manifested in the ones we expect it from the least.
For some betrayal comes after prolonged exposure to the hatred or annoyance of another being, for others it is a reflex knee jerk reaction to a simple act.
But how do we control betrayal? How do we decide when it's time to go that extra mile and annihilate?
Betrayal or backstabbing is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations.
Often betrayal is the act of supporting a rival group, or it is a complete break from previously decided upon or presumed norms by one party from the others.
Someone who betrays others is commonly called a traitor or betrayer.
I witnessed a very low form of betrayal today and it was an ugly side of some one's character to see. But how fortunate to see a snake's true form and live to tell the tale.
This makes you appreciate and value the true friendship you see in those you have chosen over the years to make up your life companions.
Those who betray will get what's coming.
