She wondered how a man could look into a woman’s eyes and lie so completely, so convincingly. She wondered how he could have looked and not seen the love that had glowed there, the blind faith, the unconditional devotion. She wondered how he would sleep at night, knowing he had betrayed her so effortlessly. V.S. Carnes
About This Quote

It is hard to imagine the pain of having one’s heart broken by the person you love the most. Yet, this is what happens when someone you love betrays you. The idea that you will never forgive them and will forever be separated from them is a terrifying thought. The pain is so immense that it seems like your very soul has been torn out of your body. However, you must remember that this pain can heal if you just remind yourself that it will fade away.

Terrorism, war, and hatred infect our world today. However, there are still good people who can bring about change instead of just cowering in fear or causing more harm than good. When people betray each other, they leave scars behind them which they try to hide but eventually become visible.

These scars are the proof of their betrayal and prove that they could never truly love anyone else but themselves.
