Why do people Betray?
One of the bitter experience in
life is being betrayed. Betrayal is serious because it destroys trust, and
without trust there can be no relationships. Without trust, society families,
institutions, and most certainly a marriage cannot function. Betrayal shakes a
person to his core because it rupture his ability to trust.
What causes people to betray the
trust that has been placed in them? There could be three reasons. The first is
excessive ambition, greed, lust or passion. When a person cannot control is
overcome with three vices, he is liable to betray. A drug addict will betry the
trust placed on him because his addiction is overpowering. It is greater than
any sense of loyalty, integrity or honesty he may have. A person’s need to be
wealthy and lead a luxurious life may cause him to steal embezzle or misuse
information given to him in confidence. Overpowering sexual attraction may also
cause a person to betray his marriage.
The second reason could be a
feeling that betrayal is necessary to achieve a greater good. Betrayal in this
instance is not considered evil but a holy act. A person may feel that in
order to save another person’s life soul it is ok to betrayal him.
The third reason could be because
people like to prove how smart they are. Many people like to play with other’s
mind, manipulate lives just to stir up trouble.
Betrayal is terrible because it
causes the person who has been betrayed to question his ability to trust again
and it also causes them to question their own judgement. It destroys their
confidence in themselves.
Let no one of us over lose our
confidence or our ability to trust others because of some people. Lets hope and
pray that they will always be those because of whom we will be able to maintain
our trust in mankind.
