Harrowing Deaths over Decades of History Part III

 Betrayal remained a common historical theme.  Adam and Eve betrayed God.  Roman Senators betrayed Julius Caesar.  Judas betrayed Jesus.  Those who learned nothing about history doomed them to repeat past mistakes.  There became sort of a ripple effect.  Then, the dominoes fell down one after the other tile so the same acts thus got repeated yet again.  Hence, history eventually formed a cycle which reused the same events in a constant continuous circle.  Can the circle get ever unbroken when the human(s) committed an unconscionable act against another adult?  Can the circle get ever unbroken when the human(s) committed an unthinkable act against another adult?

To answer these questions, consider a few more examples.  First, there came the early and the middle age martyrs.  Then appeared the current age martyrs from Sir St. Thomas More to Benedict Arnold (traitorous victim), Marie Antoinette, past Napoleon Bonaparte.  Last ventured the Civil War through Civil Rights movement martyrs.  Some examples from the first type include the scapegoats in the Inquisition.  With the second group, society outcasts described the most, if not all, martyrs.  Formal and civilian soldiers alike lost their lives during a successful martyrdom coup between the Civil War or the Civil Rights movement which leaves the present.    

Martyrs took all shapes and sizes.  Most victims earned their status through betrayal.  Those who betrayed them did so for many reasons.  Jealousy defined a prime motive in the case of a betrayer.  Popularity played a big part with why the persecutor felt envy.  Everyone liked the him or her victim better than the killer.  What attracted peers to the guinea pig, several answers give way.  Most likely, the one who ended up lowest on the totem pole looked attractive.  Other factors include a certain knowledge depth, or intelligence.  Without such aptitude, the poor teen will find nothing to offer.

Certain skills ranked higher with the adolescent view than smarts.  Jocks, in other words star athletes, routinely enjoyed high esteem from their teachers as their fellow students.  Wheelers plus dealers became the socialites and/ or formed their own cliques.  Beauty kings like queens appeared the most attractive to the pupils.  Intellectual individuals, of course, possessed their brains leading them on the right track through high school.  These diverse groups held one trait in common, which meant their ultimate foundation years.  All high school attendees must find their own way through the social ladder while still aptly focus attention at academics.
