Betrayal
Talked to Boss last nite... and as much as I hate to admit, I do not like the feeling of being stabbed in the back, especially when it comes from my close friends. I am currently reading the historical novel of Julius Caesar, where in the story he forgived his close friend Brutus for his betrayal despite pleas from his generals to execute the traitor. Brutus turned around and schemed Caesar's downfall, resulting the famous "Et tu, Brute?".
Caesar once told me, that the meaning of brotherhood is but a word that people address each other when things are going well and everyone is having fun. Once trouble comes along the way, you will see the true colors of the people around you. Thus, the great man doesnt believe in having his "bestest best friend". There is alot of truth in what he said. The length of time you know a person does not reflect the depth of understanding you have for that person.
I have always treated all of my friends with due respect and due level of trust. After all, you are taking about something that needs to be earned. I do not remember not giving my friends any lesser than they supposed to have. I do not care what others say about any other, I just based on my own judgment and experience with the person. May sound stupid, cos you ought to listen to other sources sometimes. But in the end, its up to you to put down your own opinion.
Boss did tell me about the price of seeing through a person's character. So did Caez. Sometimes you pay in monetary terms to see a person, other times in much lesser means. What pains me is the bond that is broken can never be repaired to what it is used to be. There are many mistakes I have made over my course of life. This is one of the few where I regret doing, and will never repeat again. I should not have....
