To build trust on someone takes time and  sacrifice, you have someone that you trust so much because they know this,they end up disappointing you in a way that might be unforgivable because of money.

There are two friends Kelvin and Charles,they have similar likes and have being gambling and predicting results of matches together. One day Kelvin and Charles studied a game together for some days and finally, it was the game day,so these two friends instead of playing separately decided to put their money together to bet big so that the win will also be bigger. After betting since Kelvin and Charles have been friends for long, Charles didn't bother about who will keep the game slip and so the slip was with Kelvin.

Four hours later,the game was played, the game came out as predicted and these two friends got a big win of $120K. Charles before the game started,fell asleep and woke up two hours after the game ended,believing whatever happens,his friend Kelvin will notify him. Kelvin noticed the win and checked on Charles at home to find out that Charles is fast asleep.

Kelvin secretly withdrew the money and ran away to another state where he feels Charles wouldn't find me, Charles woke up and checked the game,then called his friend but he was nowhere to be seen. Three months later a friend of Charles saw Kelvin living in a big house with a luxurious lifestyle and told Charles.
All these happened because Charles trusted Kelvin

If you were Charles what will you do after knowing where Kelvin ran away to with the money you both won. Will you just let go,or you will go after him to get justice ? or how will you treat this issue.

There is only one way to treat a traitor,and that is capital punishment in many countries,even those with democratic and western developed values.I would personally go after him and find him and make him accountable even if that meant that this would have been my last thing to do in my life,the rage after the treason cannot be easily forgotten.

I will tell a story why I don't believe that much in friendships.One guy was arrested for being accused of killing another guy and he was in prison but with some amnesty he got to be in home arrest,he was being safeguarded by two guards because the people of the guy who killed wanted to kill him.It looked like there was no way to get to him but the people of the guy killed had a lot of money.In the house of this guy arrested only entered his closest 2 friends.One day these closest friends were tempted by 100.000 EUR and killed their friend and his dad,now they are all in prison but that is the reason I don't trust friendships anymore.
