Title: Betrayal
Current mood: disappointed
I guess I will never learn. For some reason I just trust people. It has been my undoing in more than a few cases.
I did it again the other day. I shared something in confidence with a coworker and it came back to bite me on the ass. It may have damaged a relationship that I value and which has served me well both personally and professionally.
I guess it was because I was raised to believe in the goodness of people. Maybe it is because I have this desire to have people like me. Whatever the case I guess it is too late to change at this late stage of my life, but I wish I didn't have to think about being circumspect.
Along with civility and just plain, common courtesy I suspect that honoring confidences has become another causality of this age.
