Are you familiar with the story of Judas when he betrayed Jesus?
He was one of the good disciples but things turned out differently when Jesus became so unpopular and there were rumors that the religious leaders were out to get him, even kill him if they could. It began like looking the other team is going to win so Judas switched sides and sold out his friend.
Maybe your friends'popularity is not what it used to be so you decided to drop them before it affected your image. Or maybe you sold their reputation by uncovering their flaws or weaknesses to others.
Will you be like Judas then doing much worse because you never even tried to make things right?

Judas was the one key person that led to Christ being captured and crucified. It was probably his destiny. But yeah, we all have a choice and probably at the time it was all he knew he could do to save himself. And honestly speaking we were in those times and we couldn't have known how it was to live in those days, and we wouldn't know what really was the true reason to him betraying his friend, Jesus.
Even in our society right now, this selling a friend has always happened, on a daily basis, to everyone. Some in minor things, others have been blown up to a more "dangerous" and life changing way.
Here in the Philippines, our Former President was sold out by his close friend ( he didn't get his way) and he felt he needed to sell him out because what he was doing was wrong. (But the thing is he was with him all those years doing this! I am not saying there was something wrong with Jesus' and Judas' ways but the selling out of a friend is. Sometimes no matter how you know someone, and even brothers would kill each other for money. Whatever it is, its all in the intention that led to the act of it.

We really cannot judge a person unless we know the whole side of the story. Sometimes people are just caught in a very bad situation and they might be left with bad choices as well. Though selling a friend is not good at initial shot, we should also understand that sometimes we just cannot point fingers and judge a person quickly.

A person like me who does not have any close friends right now would tell you that friends - true friends, especially - are one of the most valuable things you can ever have on earth. Why would you trade a friend for money, or for any other thing, if a friend's value is greater than material possessions? No, I would never sell a friend. If there's something I want right now it's a true friend. I miss my old friends...but I'm in a new school and we already parted ways. :(

I know what it's like to be without friends, because I've had some time when I didn't find anyone to really open up to. Now that I have a true best friend, I know what I would lose if I gave her up for some seemingly "good deal", so I'm never going to leave her or sell her.

Hi ! Friends are gift from God . We didn't ask for them , God just sent them ! I value my few friends so much that i can never afford to have a price for them and sell. They are not objects or things that when we are fed up then we can sell them .
Friends are very priceless and precious ! They are human being deserved to love and to be loved.

Never. The people who keeps my life going are my friends. Without them there will be no happiness in my life.

No, I don't like that at all. I hate to be betrayed and I also hate betrayal. I wouldn't sell a friend to anyone. It's just so bad.

I never sell my friend for any cost and don't think to betray them. Friendship is really a noble thing. We must be loyal to our friends.

I always see a friend as a "friend" and if I label you that word, I don't think I will betray you. Something I can't even do to an enemy talk more of a friend.
