BETRAYED

Hello Wisdom

This may sound cold or even a bit hard but I think there is only One we should Trust totally and He isn't a human being.

The pain we feel when we are betrayed is I think in direct proportion to the amount of trust we invest in someone. Maybe it would be better to bring our problems to the One we know we can trust One who will never betray us.

What do you think Wisdom

I don't disagree with you Adstar, but along the same line keep in mind we were created with the need for companionship.  

No, I don't think you sound "cold" at all.  You're making a good point.  But realistically speaking we will still desire the companionship of others because of our senses.

Very true Wisdom, I think we need to find an appropriate level of trust we can place in our fellow man and absolute trust in the Creator of all existence.

Now the level of trust we place in our fellow man depends on how we assess an individual. We must place some trust in others if we want a worthwhile fellowship/relationship with them. But still we must never place absolute trust in any man. Some things are better left between us and the Creator.

Adstar, that was very well put.  I like the way you phrased it.  I will add it to my list of things to pass on to others! :thumb:

Adstar--I clearly understand where you're coming from.

But nevertheless, we have to take chances and make friends, otherwise we live in isolation. There is a need for human companionship and intermingling.

I had a dear friend that died in 95, and I still think about calling him, then realize he's not even here. But he was around during the times that I most needed his friendship, and we will meet up again.

Ive also been backstabbed by a number of christian friends I met in churches.  But they are replaced by others. You just have to move on and handle it on a day by day basis.

One of my son's college profs once said in class "when God blesses us, we should relish in it, sap it up and enjoy it to the hilt when He does."  

If we worry that a new friend may leave our lives, then we cant really enjoy their friendship while we have it.

God has recently blessed me with a wonderful new car, so I am going to drive it to death while I have it.  Whats going to happen next year?  Will I be walking?  I dont know, but Im going to "sap it up" while I can.  And next year I'll deal with next year (if we're even still here).

We have no promise of tomorrow.  And so it is with our friendships; enjoy them to the utmost while u have them. My friend was only in his 50's when he died.  I "trusted" him not to leave my life, but I certainly can say I enjoyed his company while he was here, and glad I did.  (We had a brother-sister type relationship).
