Trust and Betrayal

We often face this situation in our everyday lives. Betrayal - we betrayed, we get betrayed. We have read and seen the work of Shakespeare about the betrayal of the utmost important character in his story to the King, say, Macbeth. If we have read the story we know that utmost important character in the play was Macduff, the one who betrayed the King and the one who committed regicide. It is all because of the three hideous witches by saying that he will be the King.

So what? It was just a play, and what is it related to life? Let me quote, Shakespeare had said,

"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages"

The point here is>> WE are the ACTORS in the stage called, the WORLD. We are different in many kinds (need not to mention how we are different) and we have different "agendas" in our lives, with different needs considering the things that sometimes are not important. We ask for ideas and opinions from other people, and we LISTEN to them. We are influenced, and... voila! The influence that we have, if positive...then, of course, it is GOOD... if it is negative, then it will be BAD...and become WORST...and after that...hm... I do not want to think about it)

Why we betray others and we get betrayed? We betray because we want things desperately, we want things that are not ours, and we want things too badly that we have the guts to hurt the people we love. Why we get betrayed? Because...we betray other people! Is it that easy??(Serve us right!) Well, it is not necessarily for us to get betrayed because we betray other people. Some of us are not a person to betray others, non? uughhh... honestly, I do not understand why am I saying this. Complicated.....

We betrayed others for benefits, for money? power? popularity? what else? It happens, everywhere and anywhere. Whether we realized it or not, it happens all around us all the time. We trust a person, especially people who we love. We thought that we know them, maybe not 100%, but enough to instill our trust in them that we tell them everything about whatever secrets that we have!




Life is not bed of roses when the secrets are not sealed at the right place. Some of us just know that the BIG secret that we have, we won't share it to them because we don't TRUST them. Ha-ha. How clever some of us are! At times, after we had realized that we just couldn't keep our mouth shut just to impressed some people out there, we TALK and TALK and TALK without realizing we have such a BIG mouth and the BIG SECRETS are revealed. How about that? How do we suppose to feel about this? Without we noticing anything, people have been trying to avoid you, no more gossiping, no more talking, no more laughing - NONE.



TRUSTING people is what we do. We trust people because we BELIEVE them, that they will not put us into shame and keep to promises. We are unable to keep things by ourselves as we are just...you know are burdened with too many things and we need someone to talk to, and SHARE whatever we feel that we want to tell them. When a time comes - we quarrel with them and all the SH*T come out, yeah... a lot of things will happen. We are LOYAL towards them, but they are not? Hey, hey... I did not say that all of us are like that. but, sometime we just couldn't have two sides work together... We just could be silent, say nothing and we expressed our dissatisfaction without being able to confront the problems that we face. Why? We do not want to know the truth, and we are in a state of DENIAL.


Can we just stop for a day without actually BETRAYING other people's trust on us? They trust us, as friends, as loved ones, as whomever they think we are, so please... please consider their feelings. We might not appreciate it now before we do something that is terribly wrong, we will regret it later, after we do the 'deeds'. It will be too late, after all, but the least we can do is to just keep our mouth shut for a minute and see how many souls that we have saved.












OK. Enough of this trust and betrayal thing. I will have the tendency to drag and it will never stop. Why? Because it is a life experience and I know, I will never stop about it as it will never STOP messing with life. So, let us close about the story for today. TRUST & BETRAYAL.

So, thought of the day
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We are ACTORS, we have CHARACTERS, we wear MASKS, we live with TRUST, we SHARE and LIES, we BETRAY and HURT, we WIN and we FALL.
