Distribution : Love & Betrayal by Prince Kelly U Kanu

LOVE AND BETRAYAL.. There are many pains:the anguish of long suffering,the shock of death,the bitterness of loss,the frustration of failure,the unbelief of dissapointment but nothing wrenches the heart as betrayal from the ones we love most.Y does it pain more to be hurt by a loved one,someone u'd die for,someone u can never lift a finger against even if he stabs u,why does it derail more?If any woman were to abuse me and brand me good for nothing,I wouldn't worry much but if those words were to come from my wife or mother,I might never be able to recover from the psychological trauma.I might be able to fight off a thousand enemies and arrows but if the arrow were to be shot by a friend,how would I be able to face the cold stare in his eyes?Only the shocking realisation of this betrayal wud drive me to my death.It is natural,we automatically loose our defences when the tongues of our loved ones are wagging,when their daggers are flying,our guardsare automatically let down.Nobody wields a sharper sword than the ones we love most and when they decide to use it against us,our courage fails us to fight back.Little wonder William Shakespeare elaborately exploits the theme of love and betrayal in most of his works;Julius Caeser,Othello,Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.Mind the things you say to a friend because your words will hurt more than death itself,Just stop and think for a second before you speak. Friends,do we continue to hide in our shells because we've been betrayed?Do we never love or trust again because we've been ditched and rejected by someone,we now depreciate our values and worth?Do we rot in self pity?No Pals! In a world filled with so much hatred and bitterness,we must still dare to love.In a world filled with so much betrayal n pretence,we must still dare to trust.Your strenght and willingness to live is truly manifested when ure able to rise from the ruins of ur heartbreak.We truly live when we love and believe in something...
