Balance

(Source)

Someone dear to me has been hurt, not physically mind you, at least not directly. Those of you who have experienced betrayal might know the feeling. No blows fell, but the psychological pain feels every bit as real as being struck with a baseball bat.

I would like to say that I'm incoherent with rage, but I'm not. I'm disappointed yet remain unsurprised at how many broken people there are in the world. Perhaps they know that they aren't quite right in the head, perhaps they are oblivious.

I don't know.

I know that this shall pass, but this irks me. Really gets under my skin. What's more, I don't understand the sort of behavior evidenced by the guilty party. I really can't understand it.

But in all things there is a balance, one which we may not see in this lifetime. But you know, what goes around does indeed come around. Karma, as they say, is a bitch.

I am beside myself, these sort of things always seem to crop up around the holidays, I can't say why, maybe it just seems that way to me. But, as I'm not the one directly impacted, I have no vote, no say in the matter. All I can do is provide support. Which I have been and will continue to do.

Damn it!
