I recognise why I have such a strong inability to forgive certain people who betray me. It's chiselled in, like a name on a tomb stone.

I'd like to be more forgiving. There are times when I've had a hard time forgiving people who have betrayed me.

I treat everyone as a friend, but if they betray me, that's it. They're out of my life in one way or another.

I have been constantly betrayed and deceived all my life.

You can't betray yourself too often, or you become somebody else.

It takes a major unhappiness, a prolonged and bitter experience, to drive us away from loyalties once formed. And sometimes no amount of punishment can make us repudiate our loyalty.

When you betray somebody else, you also betray yourself.

And I'm afraid, in this day and age, trust, which I count so, you know, I love loyalty. I love trust.

I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.

For me, I always wonder what's worse: an emotional betrayal or a physical betrayal? That's a really tough call.
