The Scapegoat

Met up a friend after a long time- and some of the old stories came back to my mind.
It amazes me how even the most courageous of people choose to clutch at straws when it comes to facing some bitter truths. This friend had been at the recieving end of some unfair and unfavourable gossip by people whom she trusted and who were close to her......Unfortunately there are wheels within wheels and one close person is linked to another close person and taking them to task means standing to risk a very valuable relationship- So quietly an outsider who knew each of them in a restricted capacity was made the scapegoat -and no one was hurt-except tht the concerned person was made a nice little scapegoat uneccesarily and before she knew what hit her she had been nailed and crucified .............
I sometimes wonder if life is always so strange for everyone in all parts of the world?
