Trusting the Wrong Person
April 20, 2009 by: Rebecca Cheng
A lawyer says, ” You trust no one – especially that person!” His accusing finger pointing at the very person you want to protect even if your life now depends on it. What are you going to do?
Blood is thicker than water – trusting one that has the emotional means to control you while he/she is driving a knife into your back is more common than imagined.
How does such mistrust happen?
In a word, emotional attachment.
This may be love, it may be loyalty, it may be honour. Why was Joan d’Arc burnt at the stake? She wouldn’t let go of her faith.
But sometimes, it is simply the fear of the loss of the person’s approval. Quite akin to the Stokholm Syndrome.
The answer to doing what a good lawyer tells you because your very life depends on it, is a choice of weighing priorities.
- Do you have dependents?
- Do you value your life?
- Do you know what you’re doing to your loved ones or ones that love you if you continue do forsake them and help this one person who is hurting you?
- Can you find the courage to be truly free of such bondage?
Hard choices, Simple steps.
