Betrayal

I feel particularly passionate about this topic, because I have been betrayed for as long as I can remember. Yes, I have been betrayed more times than you, reader, have had hot dinners. Betrayal. It's a funny old game. I cannot really think of a single incident in which I have betrayed another, interestingly. Perhaps it is those who are sincere and honest that always end up getting hurt. Perhaps sincerity and honesty are the two requirements for a victim of betrayal. Hmmm, does that sentence even make sense? I think you know what I mean anyway. Betrayal really is an interesting concept. I remember, I felt betrayed for a good year or two when my sister commit suicide. The anger overshadowed the despair.

I guess the film 'Ordinary People' is about betrayal and conquerring any feelings of resent towards the betrayer. Primarily it is about strange relationships and a death to cause a family to fall apart - but I think the underlying message in the film is the mother's journey of acceptence and forgiveness after feeling betrayed and cheated.

Delicate subject. It probably has nothing to do with module, but it feels good to have released it nonetheless. Hope I'm not going to get penalised for it!
