@Nordstahl not sure what you're referring to exactly, but have you considered that maybe what you believed as a child, well maybe you might have learned better as you grew up?

@volkris fair points I would say. My description was overly general and probably poorly worded but overall I am still fighting feelings of betrayal by those around me whom I used to think better of.

I think we all suffer a lot of betrayal these days, we all feel that we put trust in people who turned out to be untrustworthy.

Remember: polling shows a historic loss of faith among the public in institutions ranging from the press through churches. All of that is a form of betrayal.

The part that I notice, though, is how often people keep believing their betrayers, as if they want to maintain the time before the betrayal was seen.
