So I came across a news story today that sickened me, as few things do. Apparently, Britney's mom has written a book, in which, she reveals all of her daughter's dirt to the world. I suppose that she has her reasons. Money? Attention? Or maybe even a noble cause hidden deeply within a warped brain? Whatever it is, it's wrong.

Betrayal is one of those things that I simply find unforgivable. Especially when it comes from someone close to you. And that goes double-triple-quadruple when it comes from family. I mean seriously, how do you do that to someone you love?

I've done a lot of low, despicable things in my time...but betrayal is something I could never do. Thank God, that I was always blessed with loyal friends.

You know, a lot of people see tattoos, baggy clothes, shaved heads, and perhaps even a long wrap sheet and they assume that we are people of little or no worth. That may be true to a point...but not entirely. Though I admit, that we may carry heavy sins with us, and eventually end up receiving the wrath of a righteous God, there are some things that we hold sacred. Loyalty. Friendship. The world can learn a lot from us in that regard. Circumstance and position in life have on occasion caused a stint in the joint...but if we came from different worlds, things might be different. Not in every case, but there may be a few. I hesitate to put this out there like this because there may be a sucker or two -who is quick with the tongue- that scoffs at the very thought. And though it may be spoken with a Harvard tongue, truth is, unless you've been there...you don't know shit! Some of our education comes from the school of life, and on the receiving end of gunfire...and that knowledge can't be learned in a classroom or by reading a few articles or books. Moving on...

 

In other circles, that loyalty to a group of people involved in war may be rewarded by metals, awards, and accolades. "For bravery unsurpassed in the battlefield." "For not leaving a wounded comrade" "For risking his life for another."

The point is, that regardless of where you come from, loyalty is held in high regard. Therefore, betrayal is seen as low...no matter what the reason. I just don't understand how someone can go there. You know what I mean???
