Trust

[Freomæg]

I voted "other" because I believe trust should be given until broken. Innocent until proven guilty for the first time. A child should be born trusted, but the first time they betray, the betrayed has every right to withhold trust until it has been earned again.

I believe a child is born innocent, but as far as adults and teenagers are concerned, they're not to be trusted until they've proven they can be trusted. I learned this in life the hard way, and it took me getting screwed over many times to learn it too.

I take my cues from the feline world: Cats inherently don't trust you, until you've proven yourself trustworthy... then to show you that they trust you, they roll over and expose their belly. Well I don't roll over and expose my belly, but you get what I'm saying.

Earned. Nothing's for free.

But I trust myself only, although not fully

If somebody does betray your trust, is there any room for redemption? Maybe that is a topic for its own thread.

First earned, then given, in my case.

And by trust I mean I would trust you with my life. Or not.
