Undone, yet not done
ADB-160402#170
Sometimes life kicks you right in that very same place that holds your courage. Yeah, that place.
I was recently betrayed by people that I thought were friends. I was truthful with them, and they took advantage of me. They didn’t have to. They could have been honest too, and I would have accepted their position and we all could have come to an amicable compromise. But instead, they waited for me to pass through a dark alley, jumped me, and kicked me hard in the balls (metaphorically of course).
So now things are a bit of a mess.
But…
I’m not going to stop trusting people. Not everyone is the same. I want to find the people worth trusting and enjoy them.
I’m always surprised when people are cowards. But I’ve been one too, so in the spirit of (one-sided) empathy, I’ll forgive them. Eventually. As soon as I can walk again.
In the meantime, I’m on the lookout for new friends.*
