The recent times when I have written about treachery, betrayal, and broken trust seem to have touched a nerve. A reflection of the times we live in, or just the human condition?
Reflecting on our own thinking and behavior is uncomfortable, even painful. Conscience is painful. People avoid being proven wrong to avoid the inner pain of convicting oneself. We go to the precipice rather than reflect and turn to the right and good things conscience sparks to. Hard falls are due for the avoidant.
