Happy Saturday
I see trust as an issue of trust. If trust is to be trusted, then one must have a trustworthy trust.
I recently got a message from a lady, she wrote, “Am Schema by name. Am leaving in Detroit, Arzona. Am work with world sharity, can you hep with money for medicine for my sick pet rock. Prefer cash. You trust me, yes?”
Now, I may trust her twice, but after that. I don’t know.
There is an elderly guy I knew...he always told me that he didn't trust anyone. He also told me that the world is against him.
I seen him on many occasions with a temper and not many people who would want to be around him.
As a side note, I wonder if one's level of intelligence can bare influence on their attitude.
I think that is a pretty solid rule of thumb. I suppose one could pose the thought that there are always exceptions to the rule...but...it would depend.
There are people out there that just don't trust anyone by default...
I find myself trusting, until there is a reason not to trust. (in line with Luke's way of thinking).
I think most people can be trusted against doing major crimes against you. (I suppose it depends on the area you live).
I think when it comes to minor violations, people would feel more comfortable breaking those rules. (as a person, something minor is not much of a big deal) So why not trust them? Most people will not even violate your trust with something like that.
....just two pennies here
Nice to see you and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I would suspect there has to be a certain level of trust to allow somebody in your world in the first place....in order to have the ability and option to allow them to be trustworthy.
No, I’d never do that, or admit to it.
Have some compassion, she has a sick pet rock. Needs help, medicine.
Heck, she just got him a month ago at the pet rock shelter, or off the dirt.. something like that.
Is it fair? Hmm.. I don't know as I doubt that kind if person exists. At least once in a while, if not once in lifetime, everybody trusted someone. If that trust was then broken is a different story.
And do you think that eldery guy thought you're against him, Johnny? Why were you always there listening to what he said?
That is their choice. They have to live with them or decide to rid themselves of them.
I avoid shoulder chippers, especially as potential partners. They make the choice to believe the world is against them, everybody of a different culture/colour is evil, all women are only out to take their money, etc.
I make the choice not to be burdened with them or their chip.
I'm a firm believer that trust must be earned, it is not a privilege given to an acquaintance.
I don't think this is just a clean cut as you either trust or not. Yes, there are extreme cases to be said for either side of that coin....one trust everyone and one who trusts nobody. I think as somebody moves closer to the "one who trusts nobody" side, the more isolated they become and more salty their view toward the world becomes.
He never really told me that Kal, it was rather he told himself that. He lives a long life in isolation. When something went wrong, he would always say to himself that everyone was against him.
I am not sure if he thought I was against him. When I was younger, I would help him out...always looking for odd jobs.
I don't know if I listened to him, but I heard him. I don't think the world is out against anyone. I think the world is to a person in accordance to what they make it for themselves.....for the most part.
Enough said with your statement.
You say you trust in real life and you go on to say how you trust your friends.
That in and off itself sort of add validity to my presumption.
You trust your friends...in other words, because you trust, you are not isolated. (because you have friends)
I just read your last statement:
"I'm a firm believer that trust must be earned, it is not a privilege given to an acquaintance."
With your last statement, I have a question for you.
When is the last time you allowed somebody new into your life in real life?
I do agree with what you say, it is difficult to trust somebody that is clearly displaying untrustworthy characteristics. There does have to be some level of discernment being used. I am speaking about people who just have a default setting of not trusting anyone...for no particular reason other than they got themselves convinced that nobody is trustworthy.
Like if I was thrown in prison and was surrounded by inmates, I would probably be walking on eggshells a bit.
All others are just talking because we have a mouth.
He must be close to 120 years old. No wonder he is getting cranky
This is nothing wrong with what anyone does in their life.....having a tight group of people you associate with is fine as well....I think. I know for myself, I am usually so busy that it is difficult to let people into my life, no time for them. Friendships require time.
I think hate can be an acquired behavior or trait....not necessarily just born with it. People can turn bitter.
....but, something for me to think about. Thanks for that suggestion.
But if you are just going to stop and chat with a stranger, there is some level of trust needing to be used I suppose, given the situation. Like in a dark alley? Some people have been kicked down all their lives and cannot even make eye contact with others....does it take trust to make eye contact with somebody?
Just some ideas that ran through my head.
That's a pity. I was nearly looking forward to meeting the ancient old crank
Hating the world?
The world is a beautiful place. But I guess even beauty can be hated if misrepresented. So the answer is ...
Some lady I know, asked me to ask you..
“What the heck is this blog all about, anyways?”
Anyways
I was recently having a talk to somebody and they informed me that they didn't trust anyone. Then that made me think a bit...
Otherwise, not much.
