smiley963: Trust is one of those tricky aspects of life. Most people just don't trust anyone after living life, to a certain age.
Are all people Trustworthy?
You decide?
Trusting another person is a choice. We are reasonable beings. We can choose to find a reason to not trust someone if we want to. It's a very simple and easy task.
Then when we've found the reason, we feel that we have won and we walk away the victor. No one likes to feel like they are the victim of some heart-wrenching betrayal.
Or, a person can separate themselves from the situation and all the irrational emotions and truly see that the situation isn't all about them.
A person who chooses to trust, gives freedom and respect to all the people they come in contact with. This is a person who understands their own true value and who understands that they have nothing to lose.
"We can only be deceived by those we trust. Yet we have to believe. A person who won't have faith and refuses to love for fear of betrayal will certainly be exempt from these torments, but who knows from how much else he or she will be exempt?"

By trusting, you let anyone into your life, to influence you personally, whichever way they please. They will change your decision making skills, so that you will start second guessing yourself. You now cannot complain or blame/commend them, even if it was either good or bad, making that decision to trust them, was yours alone!

Envy seems to have no influence over me but being intelligent does. Nothing works without trust even American capitalism which rests upon the lowest opinion of the human species would not work if everything was to be conducted at gunpoint.

Yes your trust is so apparent, that you talk to no-one, just plaster your opinions, and could not care less, whose thread you mess up. You are so trustworthy, yes!!!! Wake up and smell the roses!!!
Constant suspicion can easily turn you into a bitter, lonely person... Deciding to trust doesn't mean it should not have a boundary and you trust blindly... Part of the pain we cause to ourselves as we trust people who send clear signals of danger... There's nothing wrong to weigh the facts in cold blooded manner before falling for someone's lies...it's our own choice after all...

How many people do You trust? You come across as a very distrusting person, as you never provide personal information, you always talk in the 3rd person!

Funny, cause I've been blamed of the opposite... One can say a lot of personal stuff without making a big headline of it... Sharing opinion is a very personal thing anyway...
