Betrayal is a tough subject for most. Betrayal is a breaking or violation of a contract of trust with another person. But why do most people betray others? What motivates them to betray others? Is it anger? Is it a repentant heart? Is it truth? For Absalom Kumalo, it was for a repentant heart with which his confession came about. After murdering a white man and while being forced to testify, he said his friends were with him during the murder. By testifying the fact that his friends were with him during the murder, the judge regarded his friends as accomplices toward the crime. In the end, they were all put in jail. However, Absalom must have had some motivation to put his friends in jail. He must have been trying to accomplish something. Since the reason, to his issues, is not revealed yet, it is hard to tell. Betrayal is a tough topic for the betrayer. To the betrayer, it takes off a heavy burden and makes them feel more relieved. To the betrayed, it is a revenge situation where since this person betrayed me; there must be a way to get back at the betrayer. In an ideal world, betrayal for truth is acceptable but in our real world, is it truly worth it? It's hard to break trust. But sometimes, the only person you can trust is yourself.
