He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
- Nietzsche, Aphorism 146
When was the last time you questioned your trust in someone whom you knew for a very long time - someone who you admired for their intellect and talent? Probably never... right? But what if that trust went against you - what if it enchained your reason? What if questioned you to rethink everything right from the beginning? Traumatizing, isn't it? Or even heartbreaking.
Betrayal of trust. The demise of friendship and good will. I have walked upon that road full of thorns and shards of broken glass. It consumed and filled me with nothing but vengeance. But what when vengeance is fulfilled - what does it leave behind? Nothing but a void. Just an empty void...

Vicious circle, maybe it did not start with the betrayal you are talking about. Trust might have been betrayed in the first place because someone you admired someone you knew was let down or perhaps abused. Abuse brought vengeance brought betrayal brought vengeance and so forth. Ever thought about that? Well something drastic had to happen to end the circle.
