The Knife of Betrayal

Let's take a moment to consider the white lies we often encounter in our daily lives:

• A student declaring, "I'll study from tomorrow."

• A girl telling her crush about her boyfriend, "He's just my friend."

• A girl initiating a relationship with, "We can just be friends."

• Parents reassuring, "Come here; I won't beat you."

• Teachers occasionally claiming, "You can achieve anything in your life."

These statements typically come from well-wishers, except for a few nuanced situations. Regardless, when we hear these phrases, they often feel like just a collection of benign words. However, they can resurface at the most inopportune moments, reminding us of underlying feelings of betrayal.

Betrayal—what a powerful term. It can strike hard, leaving lasting impacts on a person's life. We see the dire consequences: suicide, murder, depression, and even severe medical issues. While treatments and counseling can follow these events, they often can't undo the damage to one's bright future.

The feelings of disgust and rejection breed dangerous circumstances. In our overwhelming society, many struggle to take that crucial step toward success. But let's be clear: SUCCESS isn't just about happiness and recognition; it's a formidable response to the setbacks we face. When we encounter rejection, we should proudly declare, "You've lost a remarkable individual whose potential you can't fathom!"

Responding to challenges with success is a powerful way to navigate life without harming either party involved. Yet, merely achieving success isn't the end goal. Remember this: SUCCESS ISN'T A MILESTONE; IT'S A CONTINUOUS JOURNEY TOWARD PERFECTION! Ultimately, the belief in this journey lies within you. Grab hold of it and strive for greatness!
