according to the oxford dictionary, the word 'BETRAY' has 3 meanings.
1. HARM SOMEONE or something by GIVING INFORMATION to an enemy
2. be DISLOYAL to SOMEONE
3. REVEAL a SECRET WITHOUT MEANING TO
where as according to the collins dictionary, the word 'BETRAY' has ONLY ONE meaning which is...
--> if you BETRAY someone who LOVES or TRUSTS you, your actions HURT and DISAPPOINT them
we always think of the negative side of BEING BETRAYED. how much it hurts to be BETRAYED...how much we hate the person who BETRAYED us...but we NEVER think of the reason why ther person BETRAYS us. of course, sometimes, they BETRAY us for some unacceptable reason...but what bout the reason that is for our own good?? and what about the consequences of being BETRAYED??
what about us BETRAYING someone? is it still WRONG even if it is for that person's own good?? should ALL the BLAME be put on that person even when her MOTIVE of BETRAYING is good??? or whatever the reason is for BETRAYING is just NO GOOD??
can BETRAY be seen in another point of view instead of the negative side?? that sometimes....whether GETTING BETRAYED or being the one who BETRAYS......shapes us for who we are now, teaching us lessons of life, teaching us to be grateful.
and can we CHANGE our mind sets bout the peeps who does the BETRAYING? it's not easy at times. BETRAYING can sometimes be INTENTIONAL...and sometimes UNINTENTIONAL. of course, BETRAYING with INTENTIONS is a choice to make since we are AWARE of the MOTIVE. choosing this path with the WRONG MOTIVE of course isnt right...but what about choosing this path with a REASONABLE MOTIVE?? to stop someone from getting hurt in the future? too hurt to see that someone being hurt deeply?? to stop something bad from becoming worst? to help that someone not regret in her life?
to be called a BETRAYER isnt nice at all. it leaves a scar so deep that at times, even the years of friendship cannot heal it.
but wait...is
1. GIVING INFORMATION without HURTING that someone
2. STILL is LOYAL
3. REVEALS a SECRET with meaning to
4. ACTIONS did HURT and DISAPPOINT them
be considered BETRAYING??
i shall let the person whom i have BETRAYED, whom has called me a BETRAYER, decide and tell me the answer...
