QotD: Love and Betrayal

[plaid_hatter]

Much of my Friends List is in a similar funk, so I brought quotes.

• Unless you make allowances for your friends' foibles, you betray your own. - Publilius Syrus
• Those have most power to hurt us, that we love.
  - Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, The Maid's Tragedy
• We are much harder on people who betray us in small ways than on people who betray others

I love that first quote. I have a very hard time making allowances for people's quirks.

I've struggled with that, too. When you set expectations for people, it's hard for them to live up. If they're even aware the expectations exist.

yeah, it'd be nice if those expectations one made for other people didn't include "not f*cking someone else," you know? then no one would have a reason to be hurt by it...
