This Broken Heart of a Traitor

the beginning...

The idea of betrayal is not a new idea. During all periods of history, you can probably name one or two infamous figures that qualify to wear the moniker "traitor." There is such seething venom and hatred towards theses individuals that people spit upon saying their name - from Brutus to Judas to Benedict Arnold. If you pontificate long enough, you start to wonder how these people ended up where they did, making the decisions that condemned them to infamy throughout history. Following these thoughts is usually a self-analysis where you decide that you would never make the same choices - is this true? On such a large scale, probably, but think about all the times you betrayed your own heart, betrayed the heart of another, betrayed your family, ambitions, morals, ideals, etc... The answer to that question is an unequivocally condemning affirmative.

So now think, just because history does not know your name DOES NOT mean you are off the hook...
