I have always tried to be a person with high ethical standards, one who says what I thinks while being respectful at all times.

When I interact with people, I try to see the good in them and trust that they will conduct themselves in an honorable manner, that is, until they prove otherwise.

Tonight, I have found out, again, that, my trusting nature can be taken advantage of. Someone I considered to be a friend and adviser has proved that you must not let yourself be as open and trusting as I would like to be.

I will not allow this event to change who I am or how I relate with others. It will, possibly, make me a bit more cautious when choosing whom I will call my friend.
