[He can understand Cisco's pain. It's the pain that feels like the whole world has collapsed around you, where everything you ever did was built around a lie.

Betrayal is a pain that teaches the victim about the truth, and what trust really means.

Betrayal is what made Eobard into the Reverse Flash. And the pain he suffered turned to hatred, which turned to power.
