So that explains why it's true FOR YOU, yet does not say ANYTHING about the rest of society. Obviously, you value loyalty, so this friend's 'betrayal' and backbiting gets to you.
I'll give you an example of someone I hate...let's call him person X. Person X was in quite a few of my classes one year. He paid attention in them but would always end up asking the same questions repeatedly. At this point, I was just annoyed with him. However, in one of his classes, he would continuously bother this other person, who was not popular in the least (this was a girl, I'll call her person Y). Now I don't particularly care for Y either, but I could tell that X's constant berating of Y was getting to her, she always looked rather annoyed at him, sometimes looked even depressed. Person X either never noticed this or never cared, but since it was blatantly obvious that whenever he was bothering her, she'd get either really angry or really reclusive, I think it was too obvious for him not to have notice (meaning that he probably did notice, and just didn't care).
I hate person X. And whenever he asks me what he did to me that caused my hatred for him, I always say that it doesn't matter what he did to me.
There's another person I hate who is really just stupid. His stupidity causes him to make really, really offensive comments to me and those close to me. Often times those comments are racist. It bothers me that someone can be that stupid and not realize what he's saying before he's saying them. I don't believe he's truly a racist person; I think he tries too hard to make jokes (he's probably overheard my friends and I make jokes about our different ethnicities and thought he could make one, too...yeah, that didn't really work out), and doesn't know how incredibly offensive his comments may seem.
