The Deepest and painful wound in life
A stranger will never disappoint you because you had less expectations at all. When you get to know each other and you build a certain level of trust or discontinue the conversation if it turns out to be against your moral values. The only temptation we cannot easily escape is judging by appearance. When someone opens his mouth a doubt is removed.
What about the neighbours? They might know everything about you but will never betray you unless you too have clashes all the time. The only thing they wish is you fail and your house to get burned beyond recognition. These people will never betray you when it comes to hatred, they will show you how much they hate being your neighbour. Most of the time you assume every house break-in has got something to do with them or connections. Yeah they may but trust them if they want to destroy you they can at any time but their wish is you see them succeed. They want you to witness their breakthroughs in life so that you go and shout their fame through gossip.
The most dangerous group of people in your life are your immediate family members. Your right hand men and women in business. The former Zaire dictator was not captured by strangers it was through connection with his right hand men. The deepest wound you can suffer is from your close family, friends. These are the people who know you very well. If they go out and sell you, be very rest assured you are doomed to be destroyed and will be the hardest come back. You will feel back-stabbed because this is done by someone who was meant to watch your back.
Your partner is the only person that knows you very well and can be dangerous. The only person(s) who love you and will never betray you, is your mother and maybe your father. Parents will always be the first and last to come on rescue. I specifically mentioned mom because I know she’s the only person I can always count on. Yeah, my late father as well but.. ok never mind about the rest.
Depression is not cause by only by rejections, failures in business, relationships and money. It also comes when you out of all your sacrifices, being there for you loved ones and when it’s your turn for help no one seems to show up. Everyone’s phone is on voicemail and never return your calls whenever you call. Only because they are always expecting you to be the one that initiates calls, conversations. Have you ever noticed that people who always help hardly get any sort of reciprocity in their good deeds. Yes, you help without expecting anything in return but a little bit of appreciation and acknowledgement makes a difference.
When the only people that were meant to support, protect and help seem to be the ones that sell you out. Telling outsiders about your own flaws, dirty laundry and your weaknesses, surely that’s a deepest wound. It is difficult not to expect help from your relatives, friends but when you are always there all the time they need you, trust me you will be hurt when it’s your turn to be looked after no one. Only the same people you never expected help, the strangers.
Sometimes the only reasons many are still around is because every time they call for help you are there. Being there sometimes costs nothing but when the favour doesn’t get returned, it hurts. The only people that go out and tell everyone about your weaknesses are not far from your compatriots. Ask Samson in the Bible…
