Why does it hurt more when the people who betray you are the people that you trust and love most? And why is it that the people whom you trust and love are the people who betray you? Is it because they know that in the end, they will be forgiven? Or are they expecting us to feel nothing when they betray us? That we will overlook whatever it is since we love them. I saw an episode of TV series before where an old woman told the leading character that when we love somebody we give them the right to hurt us. But why do these people choose to hurt us then?

Isn’t our love and affection enough for them to be happy? Isn’t it enough for them to just love us back?

I know that people have ambitions. Each and every one of us wants to achieve something. There are people who make fun of others in other to get attention. Others will tell you what to do in front of everybody to show everybody that they are helping you but the truth is they’re just trying to show that they are better than you. But why do we have to hurt people in expense of success? If you want to help somebody then why don’t you tell that person privately, why do you have to tell him or her on what to do in front of everybody? If you want to get attention or want to make other people laugh why make fun of other people? It’s funny how people change when it comes to power.

Friends forget who their friends are. Even family members forget to respect their elders when they want something. I remember a cousin of mine went to see my mom to have her sign some papers to sue by her siblings who are my cousin’s father’s siblings over a piece of land. Funny isn’t it? We sometimes fail to see what is more important in life. We choose land over the people who loved us since we were kids and we choose power over the people who care for us. When you think about it, land and power are things that we cannot take with us when we die. These things cannot love us back because a time will come when another person will come along and take it away from us, unlike respect, love and trust. These are things that can never be taken away from us. We will only lose them if we ourselves gave it up.
