Should We Still Trust?
Whatever happened to the days when people trusted one another?? A person was as good as his or her handshake.? Your word was bond.?Those days seem to be pretty much gone now.? We live in a world of cynics who don’t trust anyone and “spin-doctors” who attempt to manipulate everything.
?
Most would probably agree that it’s easier today not to trust.? Why risk being hurt by the pain of disappointment?? Being trampled by the anguish of betrayal???Today, we rather revert inside ourselves, afraid to venture out and place ourselves in the venerable position of needing, risking, and trusting.
?
I sometimes feel the same as everyone else.? Then, I realize that I’m living.? Those of us living recognize that without trust, there is no growth, there is no love.? Because need people who care, people who share a part of them that is uniquely personal.?
?
Sure, I may get hurt sometimes, I might lose, I could be betrayed.? But, carefully, and sure, cautiously, I’d risk it all by trusting.?Trusting in someone, trusting in something, trusting in myself.? If I don’t have the courage or muster up the faith to trust, I’ve truly missed out on the joy of life.
?
“Trust is so difficult to gain and easy to lose.? Trust me, it’s the truth.”

1 年"Spin-Doctor" behavior has been normalized. If you're not spinning tricks, and instead doing what you said you were going to do without strings, people either think you're doing something wrong or mistake your kindness for weakness. They then steal something that you were giving at no cost. You're not normal to them. In addition, they will force their "volunteer" service on you"...tell you to do what they volunteered to do...and then try and convince you they did you a favor. Humanity ain't what it used to be. Now if you are a celebrity you can't do no wrong...you get a pass...people trust celebrities...LOL!
