Nothing hurts, poisons, makes you ill, as disappointment does.
Because disappointment is a pain that derives from vanished hope, a defeat that is always born from betrayed trust, from the turn-face of someone or something in which we believed. And being subjected to it you keel tricked, mocked, humiliated. The victim of an injustice that you weren't expecting, of a failure that you didn't deserve. You feel offended, ridiculous, and sometimes you seek revenge. A choice that can give some relief, let's admit, but that rarely goes with joy and that often costs more than forgiveness.
from the book "" by Oriana Fallaci
