Can an enemy betray you? Absent of trust, an attack of an enemy can rarely be caught off guard. But when betrayal is committed by a friend or a loved one, the consequences would be mentally perturbing. Trust and honesty are both expected in this cherished relationship. Hence breach of trust and loyalty creates devastating impact to the one who valued the relationship so much. Effects of betrayal can be deeply rooted. Time may heal the wounds but the scars will still be engraved. For the person betrayed, it is difficult to explain how betrayal was done. The pain is so overwhelming that the victim could be thwarted from reasonably recounting the painful experience. How about the betrayer? Certainly this person knew the act traverses the boundary of trust and loyalty. Good faith is the usual defense. But can one claim good faith when there is knowledge or awareness that the act can cause grave or irreparable damage to another person who cherish the relationship?
