"In some ways, betrayal is inevitable.
When our bodies betray us, surgery is often the key to recovery. When we betray each other, the path to recovery is less clear.
We do whatever it takes to rebuild the trust that was lost. And then there are some wounds, some betrayals...that are so deep, so profound that there is no way to repair what was lost.
And when that happens, there's nothing left to do but wait."
("Grey's Anatomy; From a Whisper to a Scream")
...and, sometimes, even time is not enough. Is it truly possible to always rebuild something which has completely gone to pieces? Sometimes, what is broken cannot be unbroken; Shakespeare once said, through Lady Macbeth, that "what's done cannot be undone" and that's for sure. And when that happen you're not always able to forgive it.
"Can we really forgive if we can't forget?" (from "Sex and The City") is another good point. Probably, after crime there must always be punishment; maybe, sometimes expiation will just not be enough, because there are some betrayals which make you lose all the trust, all the esteem and respect you had for someone: because faith, confidence, is something too much fragile, too much delicate to get destroyed with no leaving consequences at all behind itself. And truth is that when there's a loss of trust, there's always a bloodshed.
And sometimes, together with time, even love is not enough, because, if this is actually possible, the importance of respecting the trust that others's got in us is more important than love itself. And the reason why to that it's quite simple: without respect, dignity, confidence there cannot be fondness. Because no matter how much you still love someone: there are times in which you are just not able to let go the fact you can't have faith in that someone anymore, you are just not able to accept to live in the doubt that, maybe, you only need some more time to get things right, once again. Sometimes, the chance of 50%, the comfort idea that time, sooner or later, will heal everything are not enough to you to risk your feelings again, to risk your forgiveness, your forces to retry and give another opportunity to make things right.
Forgiveness is a serious thing and we're not always in deserving of receive something so bad great.
