Friends who betray, do not actually betray you, when they do.
Are you with me on this? Listen to me, your friends did not betray
you. You have simply chosen as friends people who betray, whom you
could expect to potentially betray you, wishing and hoping that
they would not because you are different. They betrayed but you
knew it might happen; or at least you were expecting it might
happen since the day you met them.
