    Trust is a farce...

    As soon as people can get better on any given situation they will...

    They will stab you in the back...

    Real trust only exists within the core family unit. Outside of that family unit it takes along time for trust to be built up between myself and another person.

    A person can break a degree of trust, but I can still operate a system of trust with them, but the system merely works twice as hard to compensate for the previous failing.

    I also believe that trust has multiple facets. There are many, many things I would place my life on due to there being a high degree of trust with my Father, but in some cases I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. It isn't to say my Father isn't trustworthy, as I can assure you the man is very trustworthy, but the trust starts to falter where my own reliability and belief in trusting the system fails.

    I can't help trusting some people. Others have proven themselves worthy over years.

    Most people I don't trust and never will trust.

    I don't trust anyone with all of me though.

    Trust is a gift. In general terms, I'll trust a few upon acquaintance, if I feel that the trust is deserved.Normally, I don't get that vibe, but when I do, I'll give trust..reservedly and with boundaries. Trust is obviously individual(i.e., I wouldn't trust my blood sister to get the mail, but I'd trust certain people I've known only for a couple of years to care for my daughter) and like anything else worth having, trust needs to be nourished and cared for to grow. When my trust has been betrayed beyond a certain point, I'll write off the person in question without a second thought. So yes, trust can be initially given within certain perameters, but then mutual work to establish mutual trust must begin.

    Trust is earned.

    I don't trust many people. I used to give trust but I've been stabbed in the back so many times that I learned my lesson.

    It’s earned.

    Once betrayed it's lost for good and never won back.
    I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
    “truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
    Nietzsche

    To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
    Heraclitus
