What a shame
Sometimes you realize you have totally been screwed. And this is not a sexist metaphor, it's a heartbreaking experience.
Most of the time when this happened to me - and it did happen far too often for my taste - I felt very much embarrassed. I couldn't even tell my trusted friends about it right away. But why is that, that we feel embarrassed if we have been deceived, cheated on, duped, betrayed, framed, set up, fooled? That's it! We feel like fools having been mucked so completely. Only a fool can be treated as such.
Well I don't think that is true anymore. Aren't the ones that cheat the true fools? What is their actual achievement? In the end, they just haven't treated us with the respect even an enemy deserves. Therefore we need a wider definition of weakness. For not to show respect is a fool's weakness indeed.
