Hi, Steemians! In the first part of Divine Comedy, Dante states that betrayal is the greatest wrongdoing that any man can commit in their lifetime. Inferno, as it were, is described with a certain hierarchical system in which every sin and reprehensible action or behavior is categorized. In the abysmal end of that inferno is betrayal, and the most horrid folly ever conceived by mankind. Often times in life, we may feel betrayed or cheated. Sometimes, betrayal lunges at you with a ferocious strike, leaving you defenseless and hurt. How can we deal with betrayal? ![image4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQPcrwvPUfRk4gUc59ZUdvynQNb5fFDe2M3nc4Hi4hbAm/image4.jpg) img src

There are many things that can destroy a man’s spirit in this life. Some of you may wonder how this is related to our usual motivational content. Well, to answer that question, you need to understand that a person cannot be productive or visionary if they are psychologically hurt. In the world of business or even personal relationships, betrayal is a common mischief. People tend to think that they can get hold of something better, and in the process of getting that better thing, they trample on the right of others. Many of us may be unprepared for such behavior. You should never bring a knife to a gunfight, but if you do, how should you deal with the aftermath? ![image3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTgGcDXiieAUedN4SFMtRzZdqFQA2H9JYpzm9bXWtCQEn/image3.jpg) img src

This aftermath has many faces. A lot of people fall into the grips of depression and lose touch of who they are as a person. A lot of people tend to overthink their whole relation with the person who has betrayed them. Where did it go wrong? Was it my fault? How could I have prevented this? It may be difficult to be able to trust other people when you feel betrayed. But here is a truth: You should not let the wrongdoing of other people determine who you are as a person. ![image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUt2zVEvEcGQgioAvdUuHxnQ8Y3itXiPgLrML1FKkyu5V/image1.jpg) img src

Meaning, when someone does something bad to you and does it behind your back, you should not pressure yourself into changing your personality to better suit the current landscape of society. A lot of people taste the bitterness of betrayal and change as a person, becoming cruel themselves and inflicting cruelty unto other people because they have been wronged. But if you feed this cycle of greed and viciousness, you will do nothing but help the ethical system take a wrong step at every turn, ultimately dooming a society to live the rest of its day in madness and chaos. ![image2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcgpNcSzGJGqsU47X1421Sso1CCh7LuzXhRLBokPPiZqP/image2.jpg) img src

It is okay to feel bad or broken after you have been betrayed. There are few feelings as terrible as feeling like someone has taken advantage of your kindness and honesty. But do not fall into despair. Not everyone you meet in life is going to be as vicious. So, have hope for a brighter future in which trust can be the cornerstone of your relationships. For now, remember this: Whatever that doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! A BIG HUG! @chbartist Don't forget!
