I must admit I have had it up to my eyebrows with issues of racism, hate, violence, inequality and more being seen in the world today, the news hour is saturated with stories carrying these themes. At times one can’t help but wonder where is this world coming to! These issues mentioned earlier are rampant in the corporate world, in government, out on the streets and even in religious communities too. It seems as if something very wrong has sprung in human hearts making even those we once looked up to act in dishonest ways, to say the least, towards people they once loved or rather pretended to love and care for.
Often when we hear of treachery, duplicity, hypocrisy, racism, corruption, we are quick to attach these words to political leaders because, c’mon, aren’t they the ones widely reputed to cut corners in the name of politics? By virtue of being public figures, their dirty laundry is often washed in public, through media. That’s why we all know they are the ‘bad guys’. But a deceitful behavior coming from a political figure, though frustrating especially when the public interest is at stake, is unlikely to surprise anyone. But imagine if disappointing behaviors were to come from someone closer than a political figure, someone you deeply trust and perhaps love too. Sadly, these things happen. I’ve had my share of experiencing being treated like a pawn by people who once said they believed in me and I know it’s this kind of hurt that’s often too difficult to recover from.
But why the fuss anyway? Seeing that human nature is frail and imperfect, betrayal and back-stabbing are to be expected in our lifetime.
