The problem with friends...

…you think you can trust them after being loyal to them for 16 years, through various ups and downs, yet some still manage to find the heart to stab you in your back and then have the audacity turn around and blame it all on you.

From a mathematical perspective this creates quite the dilemma.  Statistically speaking this implies any friend you currently trust, can stab you in the back at any given moment.  Trust is a thing of faith - it cannot be earned or proven or promised.  You either trust and know you can be stabbed at any time, or you don't and lose out on the benefits of trusting others, however you will never be stabbed like that.

I guess this is one down...
