"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."
How do you trust someone who has betrayed your trust. At what point do you stop trusting others and only choose to trust yourself.
Trust is something mutual yet it also takes courage. The choice to believe a person - his words and actions, ultimately lies in ourselves. Yet, circumstances may also sometimes force us to trust a person.
How objective then would your trust towards a person be? Where would your benchmark and parameter be? If you have one, then how much betrayal can you then condone.
When trust is misplaced, how do you want to react? How objective would you then be?
Trust is one of the core ingredient in any relationship. between a parent and a child; between friends; between couples; between a husband and a wife. The length of a relationship will ultimately depend on how much trust or faith as some might say that is present in the existing relationship. Sometimes, this trust might even lead to denial before we finally accept the truth. Sometimes, the truth hurts.
I am reading Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and I can understand why it is a bestseller. At the very least, it allows for a functioning and thinking brain especially when you are in the army.
