trust me or hate me .

when it comes to people , is it better to trust ? or ... is it better to put nothing past anyone ?

First off, i dont believe that you can trust anybody"half way" . there was a time when i did believe that you can trust someone only as far as you could see . however, even our vision can be misconstrued at times . We want to trust them halfway, assuming that somethings they say or do will make us suspicious and everything else will be trustworthy. That isn't trust .

people dont understand what trust is all about , and how much courage is a vital ingredient . In order to trust someone, a friend, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a relative, whomever ... you have to invest your faith in them one hundred percent . When i think about my brother and my dad , i know that i trust them with all of my heart to want the best for me . Sometimes we may not see eye to eye on things, but i know that they have a genuine interest in my well being . If my brother says bacon is falling from the sky, im simply going to trust in him whole-heartedly and bring my plate outside lol .

I would never advise that you trust somebody from the very beginning . People need to earn your trust and they need to prove that they want the best for you . Look at your trust as a case of five million dollars . Would you give your case to just anybody to hold on to and keep safe ? NO . they need to earn trustworthiness . make you feel secure . have your back . never want to hurt you . & most importantly, make you a priority . . .

if youre a good friend , you may be approached with a situation when you can do something, but it will ultimately cause a rift in your friendship ...you have to decide if it's worth it . if youre a good girlfriend, you have to decide if his trust is worth more than having lunch with an ex boyfriend . if youre a good boyfriend, you have to wonder if you can sacrifice your borderline "shady" behavior to keep your girlfriend secure. being trustworthy is not easy, however you have to decide if the other person is worth it .

I, like so many other people have a problem with the idea of trust . At the end of the day, people can be so selfish. Putting all your trust in somebody just to be let down is SCARY ! its scary to think that someone can manipulate, lie, or deceive you .

but ... no one says you have to dive into this rabbit hole of trust , you can simply decide not to trust at all ?
