A lesson I will never forget

What comes to your mind when you read the title of this article? I know you are asking yourself: “Why would I keep secrets from my friends?” Indeed, It’s an actual problem in a world that values openness and transparency. However, the famous Bob Marley once said something that still rings true today:

“Your greatest adversary might turn out to be your best friend, and vice versa.” To succeed, always know how to hold your own. In this article, I will tell you about my experience with a friend and the reason I am sounding this way.

An unexpected source of betrayal came in the form of a friend whom I had for a long time thought of as being a worthy person who was after the same dreams and aspirations as me. So many things we experienced together. Play, cry, laugh together, feel, and express our feelings. The concept of “trust” was difficult, hidden, and confusing until I did not think it was simple initially.

With a sense of oneness, I shared my growing thought of setting up my own business with a friend. I told him about my budget and how the business works.

In search of a friendly adviser and support, I considered this person to be my trusted friend.

Nevertheless, it led to the most excruciating act of betrayal, which questioned our connection’s genuineness.
