Deception Always Loses Sometimes things are not always what they seem as deception takes its toll‚ all while being hidden behind an illusion no one notices. People often face betrayals and hurtful acts to allow others they consider friends to meet their own goals. However‚ in truth they are being deceived without even knowing it.
