These Things Happen

The first time someone influences you into doing something you something you don't feel like doing and won't be rewarded for in any way, you'd feel used.
Then at some point, you'd have to trust someone enough to be honest to them. One fine morning, they'd betray you.
It could be a lover or the pot of Ogbono making noise while you were trying to steal the softest Ponmo in it.
It doesn't matter.
That feeling of betrayal starts somewhere.

From then on, you stop trusting people and the universe even
Sebi it's the same pastor that promised you a miracle that was arrested for sleeping with his first daughter, Promise

If you don't surround yourself with the right people in the right environment, you'd stop seeing the best in people.
You'd forget there is still so much goodness in people
Then you implode and stop trusting yourself too.
This is probably the final stage...

Before you know it, you're 35, miserable and beating your wife.
All the good stories they tell about you become was and used to be. He was a good man
You suddenly become one of those shitty men you criticized 15 years ago
You become a bitter man, stuck in a generation of unreasonable and angry souls, filled with regrets, waiting
to die.
