Self Betrayal: The Ultimate Betrayal?
So much to sort through: inner belief and betrayal,

BETRAYAL AND SELF-BETRAYAL ...
I am thinking about betrayal and self betrayal.
Betrayal. Someone betrays trust, breaks a promise, does not keep their word, does not come through.
Self
betrayal. I do not protect myself as well as I can against the possibility of betrayal.
I think of German Jews after Hitler came to power in Nazi Germany. He betrayed them - took their rights from them, took their place in society from them, took their lives - took and took and took.
Self betrayal. Some Jews could not believe what was happening, or were sure it could not last, or ... or ... or ...
Some German Jews could not find anywhere that would take them. But still, in the 6 years between the time that Hitler came to power and the beginning of World War II, 70% of German Jews managed to find their way out of Germany.
(So where did those 6,000,000 Jews come from, that were exterminated by Hitler? A large majority came from the countries invaded by Hitler after the start of the war - they did not have 6 years to find a way out.)
I come back to the 30% left in Germany in 1939. And I wonder about self betrayal - just not being able to believe what was happening. Was that a factor?
I think also of myself.
The stakes are way smaller. But years of my life have been given to things - and then I find the possibility that there will be quite some betrayal. And I've spent years doing things that aren't central to me - investing time and energy and money, when other things were calling from inside me. That's self betrayal.
Self betrayal.
Not taking care of myself as well as possible. Not making self care a priority. Not protecting myself. Not listening to inner priorities.
I think of childhood, and parents who needed to be taken care of - or so it felt to me. They tried so hard to be the very best, to do the very best.
I think of struggling so hard to break the chain of generations of self betrayal, of not protecting oneself - generations of often just not being able to protect oneself or those that were loved.
Breaking the chain of those generations - it feels like changing the orbit of the world.
**
It also feels possible and essential. It's changing things where change should be possible, within myself at a time when, on a social level (in the West, anyway) it is possible to live considerably more freely.
**
And as we betray ourselves less, we also make things better for others.
Nellie Mclung (Canadian writer, feminist and politican) wrote that the best thing was to set things up so people easily slipped into doing good - and feeling great about it.
The less we betray ourselves, the more we set things up so that it's harder to be betrayed by others, so what's good flows ever more easily.
Anyway, those are my thoughts for today.
