Trust: Confident expectation
why has someone got to earn it?
can't we just trust?
like how would you come to a point of realisation that "hey, i can trust him/her" or when? and after you established that, how do u maintain it? and when do you know that you can't give that person your trust anymore?
the thing is what i personally feel is that although u can't trust everyone, i also do belief that you don't have to have strong convictions on the reliabiity, or strengths of pple or things. we trust pple everyday, in our daily routine or adventures, we're just unaware of it!! i think it gets all worked up when the possibility of getting hurt or inflicted, by pple whom you 'trust', comes to the picture. but hey, the purpose of this life, for some at least, is to learn to be better pple through experiences. and what better way to learn if not going out and meeting pple and get free lessons of "self-building",through human-human interaction.
yes it may hurt to trust certain pple, but wouldn't it hurt more not to use that trust given to you to be given to someone else? think about it......
