It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

He who loves his enemies betrays his friends; this surely is not what Jesus meant.

Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life.

Et tu, Brute!

If you're betrayed, release disappointment at once.
By that way, the bitterness has no time to take root.

There were no indicators we should expect something like this ... There is a tremendous sense of disappointment and betrayal.
