a sudden BETRAYER

A very interesting word crept up when I was chatting with a friend of mine this morning. He told me, out of the blue, that he disliked (to) betray(al). Till now, I'm not very sure what sparked that thought in him, but suspected that it might have to do with something that I wrote to him prior.

As all (good) friends who had not seen or spoke or corresponded to each other in ages, we had chatted about the usual, asking each other's progress, happening, thoughts, his job, and most importantly, I had asked him where he was at the moment. He but is based outstation and holds a position which requires him to travel, extensively.

A sudden mention of his intention of wanting to get married left me confused for a moment, with the first thought running through my mind was "wow! this guy could really keep things to himself!". Until he cleared up, and said he DESIRES to marry. Go figure. A visit to his blog got me poking him on what I think might be his new love interest. Yes, it's my fault if I can't figure out what he wrote in his blog. I'm illiterate in chinese, I have to admit.

Anyhow, we were there, I was there, trying to pry some information out from this guy, when out of the blue, he typed the word, betrayer. Uh-uh. Did I betray him? Was he betrayed? Who's the betrayer? What do you mean, do it once, and only once? Then he went on to say he disliked it, and that he hopes he will never get betrayed. He didn't answer my questions, nor did he offer any explanation. That's about all he offered.

There I was, hard at being a good, concern friend but I think my low intellect is not match for the complexity his brainpower. You disliked betrayal. You hope you will not get betrayed. I think these thoughts are being shared by the masses. Who would want to be betrayed, right? It's unpleasant and very hurtful. Still, I don't get you!

However, sharing that point of view still did not answer it, what spark the thought in the first place, friend? Anything happened, that you cared to share? You saw something? You read something which triggered your braincells? Come on, I'm really curious about it! Who's the betrayer? It will be hard for anyone to trust a betrayer, too. That said, this is not a common word from you. So, who's the betrayer?

Oh my good! Wait! Did you think I am a betrayer? Have you been reading this blog? I am not. Just sometimes, I just need to get things off the head, so that may function better and faster. No extra baggage.

I really do hope it's random thought. If ever I fall victim to that, I wish I have the strength to forgive and forget. Fast. Then, courageously continue my life happily and gratefully, full steam ahead.
