The Violator

Exploitation, betray and using others for one's own end.

By Stanley Collymore

 

How does it feel in your obsessive and pernicious

pursuit of social approbation to callously and

self-servingly betray that one person who

staunchly stood by you when everyone

else around you just didn’t want to

know? Who at great cost to

them financially and the substantial risk of

also ruining their own reputation because of

you, nevertheless faithfully kept faith in

and protected you from misfortune

when your enemies, legion in

number, simply wanted to

viciously tear your

heart asunder?

 

Or is the sudden and dubious social acceptance of

you by fair-weather friends who’ve heard of your huge

win on the lottery that only came about through the

courtesy and generosity of the money you got from your

sole benefactor, and as a result now want to

opportunistically cash in on your unanticipated but

opportune success by finally, conveniently and somewhat

questionably offering their friendship no less, and to

hell with true friendship, fidelity and ethicalness,

the only thing that matters to you in the end?
