Betrayal and the discipline of vigilance
There is a unique kind of pain that betrayal brings. It is unlike any wound you get from life’s usual struggles. It cuts differently, not because of the act itself but because it comes from someone you trusted. If you expected it, you would brace yourself, shield your heart and prepare your mind.
