I have cone to realize that as a Human, you cannot completely run away from betrayal and hate. I have been in your shoes a couple of times. I have a high wall built around me and when I break the wall to let people in, I get disappointed.
But having studied the reason, I have come to realize that I have been expecting too much from people. The less you expect, the less you get hurt. It is just normal that good and honest people feel the way you do.
Well we cannot completely run away from it like you've said, but it still hurts like hell especially when you're coming from a liberal perspective and expecting some decency. At one point in time, we all know what's right, iasmuch as we shouldn't expect the best, we owe it to ourselves to deserve decency especially when we've given nothing less than decency. But the world isn't cyclical. I understand this. Thanks for coming through.
In summary, life is not fair.
