Backstabbed

Yes, everyone gets back stabbed once in a while. Sometimes you see it coming and sometimes you don’t. I was one of the unlucky ones who didn’t see it coming and that’s the reason I wasn’t writing for the past 3 weeks even when I promised that I would. From my experience with my friends and roommates, all I can say is that there are only 2 types of people in the world (from my POV)

1. People who think with their hearts (these are usually the people who care about you)
2. People who think with their brains (they usually care about the moolah, $$$, the green stuff, etc)

Unfortunately some of my friends turned out to be in the later category. It took me a while to recognize the traits but now that my eyes are finally open - its payback time. I do not wish to publicly divulge the details of the happenings of the past 3 weeks but it is suffice to say I would never trust anyone blindly again.

Some say revenge is sweet and some say otherwise. I am usually neutral when it comes to my views about revenge, payback, yada yada… I confided my problems with a professor who said:

“Kal kare so aaj kar aur aaj kar so abhi”

(If you plan to do anything tomorrow, better do it today. While you’re at it, start right away)

He hinted that do not wait for fate to punish your fiends when you have the power to do it yourself. God helps only those who helps themselves. I know it is totally out of context but it does make sense.

For those who could not make heads or tails of what I wrote above - just a few words of advice. Try to avoid having calculative people as your roommates. Don’t have too many roommates and make sure that the ones you have, are trustworthy.
