When you ask for change but betrayal is always the outcome.
It's never been easy, hoping and fervently praying for someone to change—a change that can benefit that person and those around them. It's funny how eager we are to see outcomes and how we crazily manifest the thought, "I know he'll change," but it often turns out to be the other way around. It's really amusing how we don't lose hope for that person to change, even though they have destroyed that hope countless times.
Hope. Trust. Patience. A hope that he will change. Seeing this person change a bit and placing the trust you've built so carefully. In a glimpse, he destroys that small step toward change, leaving you to be patient and hope again. It's always like that—a "Cycle of Broken Promises" perfectly describes this routine.
Someone's traits can't be changed if that person isn't sure how to change. Is it really that hard to change? How can people manage to change a little, only to revert to their old ways shortly after? Why can't people evolve and adopt better habits? Aren't they tired of this repetitive cycle? Do they consider the people around them who are hoping for their change? Maybe they never think about those things. They just act without ever considering the consequences.
Come to think of it, we are hopeful, but they are hopeless. We always think positively about them, believing that someday there will be a miracle—a miracle of change. [my mind right now: I'd be glad if that kind of miracle existed.] As we accumulate realizations, we might end up asking ourselves, "Is it worth hoping if the prize is betrayal?"
