People who live close together can be sources of great sorrow for one 
another. When Jesus chose his twelve apostles, Judas was one of them. 
Judas is called a traitor. A traitor, according to the literal 
meaning of the Greek word for "betraying," is someone who hands the 
other over to suffering.

The truth is that we all have something of the traitor in us because 
each of us hands our fellow human beings over to suffering somehow, 
somewhere, mostly without intending or even knowing it. many 
children, even grown-up children, can experience deep anger toward 
their parents for having protected them too much or too little. When 
we are willing to confess that we often hand those we love over to 
suffering, even against our best intentions, we will be more ready to 
forgive those who, mostly against their will, are the causes of our pain.
