What is betrayal?

Well? What IS betrayal?? I mean, we overuse it as accusations go, but what is it, exactly. It can be a betrayal of anything. A betrayal of trust, mostly. Why is that? I can't think of any other kind of betrayal, actually. Hm...dictionary time.

Def 1: The quality of aiding an enemy. Sooo...countering the ambitions of a supposed ally. But if you're countering them then you're not really their ally at all, are you? And you're not really your enemy's enemy. Le FUCK.

Def 2: The breaking or violation of a presumptive social contract, trust, or confidence, that produces moral and psychological conflict in a relationship between individuals or parties. Wow, what a dicky answer.

...I'm still confused.

It's when...you build something up with the driven intention of breaking it into a state worse than it was initially. Except that's kinda clinical. Betrayal is treachery, it's treason, it's two-faced, it's a broken promise. It's knowingly hurting someone who holds you above most.

"Do you hate me? Good. Now turn that hatred into anger, and fight."

...thus, were Fight and Flight born 8D
