How can betrayal be misrepresented?
I can say one thing for sure, betrayal is when something is done with 100% selfishness resulting in someone’s pain. It is often done to a person that cares, has/had trust for someone or loves someone. The hurt comes with a swipe (on big one) at a time meaning one action at a time. Almost as if one action or deed has erased/wiped out what everything has been built on. The first thing that comes to mind if I have to give a definition of the word betrayal is this. It is when someone feels cheated, robbed, lied to, manipulated by, abused by someone who has put their self-interest first often for something less valued, superficial and off the righteous path.
Betrayal usually comes from selfishness while mispresented betrayal comes from selflessness – T. Dench Patel, 6 April 2021, 17:01
