Betrayal of Trust

I found myself angry this morning. An incident that fumed my temperament that would cause to write my July blog. How do you feel when you learned that you were betrayed by a friend? It is not just an ordinary friend but it is someone whom you are so close with and you have given him/her the trust that you value most. All of the sudden it crumbled like mountain landslide and my world was shaken by a magnitude of disappointment and hurt.  He is my friend and I have given him the trust that I could impart but all of the sudden I learned that he is the cause of everything which I can't imagine that he would do to me! Of all the people, why him? 

Trust...cornerstone of friendship

One thing is clear to this incident is the lesson that wants to impart for me: Not all people can be trusted. Sometimes we have this gut feeling that whoever we meet along the way is someone that destined for you to be closed with but incident like what happened to me this morning is a manifestation that not all can be like that. I still trust few friends of mine but the absolute lesson that I learned is that you don't give a 100% of your trust. Try to reserve at least 10% of doubt not until you fully know the person. I am not saying don't trust your friend at least you come to know him/her even better and maybe, trust will build up slowly and surely. You cannot build a house just an overnight, it takes days to plan, build and refurbish one house to complete...it is just like friendship, it takes days or long enough to build a strong relationship and again, what is important is how you give your trust to each other.


By the way, writing a blog is therapeutic, it eased out my tensions...now back to work!
