Betrayal

You can't be betrayed by someone who was never on your side.

Betrayal is such a big and heavy word. The etymology of betrayal includes the idea of treachery - another big and heavy word. And the etymology of treachery includes perfidious, yet another such word.

I have known betrayal in my life. The next time it happens to me (and it will happen again), I am going to ask the perpetrator of the betrayal what the motivation was for their treachery.

Who am I kidding? I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to let them go. That's what I do. 

And then I'll blog about them later. That will show 'em.
