Betrayal
Betrayal
Yes its me. The complicated person who needs to think about his life. Anyway, Im here today to talk about betrayal. Two aspects of it actually. One, is betrayal of all forms justifiable? And two, does betrayal help us learn, or is it just causing us double trouble?
OK! First up. Is betrayal justifiable? Many people like to think of complicated problems as a “go with the flow” kind of thing and like to say things like “oh it depends on the situation”. I don’t. Not at all. Take murder for example. You could be killing as an act of revenge, you could be killing because you have no choice, but the fact remains that you killed somebody. It’s the same with betrayal. Once you betray somebody, theres no excuse. You can say “its for his own good”, or “its either me or him”, or whatever excuse that can come out of your mouth. You can never erase the guilt you feel, thee hurt you can see on your friend’s face. His sorrow will remain. The very fact that you betrayed somebody shows your self-centeredness and how much you value your friend. It doesn’t matter if you are a criminal and you betray your friend and turn to the police. You are still a traitor.At least, that’s how I feel0.0
Secondly, some say that pain help us learn. When we get betrayed, we experience some sort of pain I guess. THUS, does betrayal help us learn? I don’t think so. Having experienced betrayal, one gets confused in the future. Confused about whether to trust anyone in the future. Confused about who is your friend and who is not. Fearful that they might be betrayed yet again. So no, I do not agree that the pain in betrayal can actually help one mature/learn
