Roy T. BennettNothing can be more hurtful to your heart than betraying yourself.
About This Quote
When someone betrays... it hurts your heart. It hurts the very core of you, hurting you in ways that can never be healed. The first time someone betrayed you, it was like a knife to the heart.
The second time, it was like a punch to your stomach. And the third time? Well, that's like an arrow to your heart. You may try to ignore it, but the pain is too deep for that.
And let us not think that these betrayals take place only once. Betrayal happens again and again and again. Sometimes without reason, sometimes with good reason, but betrayal is betrayal no matter what the cause.
