It's a good point and displays how one kind of transactional trust works. It's based on mutual self interest. If the architects don't design well, they won't get their qualifications and subsequently won't be chosen to get the job. We trust this is the case and from there trust the building is safe. This is something we take for granted, but without that trust society couldn't operate. It comes from us, the people in the community and is present in our lives everyday. It has to come from the community, it's not something we expect our government to enforce, for if that were the case, we'd never trust leaving our front door....
Depends on what kind of trust you mean. The common view of trust could be described as relying on someone for a further action. The dictionary definition is, "having a confident dependence on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something." It's something we assess from past experience and project into the future but it's open to appraisal and subject to change. It's totally necessary in society, personal relationships and many of our day to day interactions. I've heard it described as 'transactional trust', you do this for me and I'll do this for you. Within relationships this trust could build over a period of time but could end in an instant. Transactional trust is an emotional response to what you've experienced in the past and is subject to change by future experience....it's fundamentally fragile. Another form of trust could be termed, 'Innate trust' which is built on more solid foundations. Its when you have the intention to act according to your values even in difficult or confusing situations, you trust your life will unfold in the most harmonious manner possible....below is a short extract about Innate trust by Phillip Moffitt...
"Implicit in innate trust is the understanding that external conditions are in the end not a reliable source of happiness or meaning because they are always changing. You don't get what you want, or you get it and then it goes away or you no longer want it, or else something happens to you and you can no longer enjoy it. Innate trusts accepts the hard facts of life that things are always changing in this manner, the future is uncertain, and wants and fears are endless."
Then there is always what you might call, 'demand trust'. It goes something like, I'll trust you to do as I'm asking. Its trying to force what can only be freely given. Ironically, it icould be called, distrust disguised as trust. Beware of that one...
It seems like ages ago. Don't think told you, we had a bit a of a nightmare sail back. Seventeen hours in busy shipping lanes and thick sea mist. We couldn't use the sails and had to crawl along on the motor. Then when we reached the Estuary we missed high tide and had to berth in Pwllheli overnight before heading on to Porthmadog the next morning. All in all it turned out to be quite a weekend....
Not all MP's are in favour of the expected lockdown.
"Many Conservative backbenchers think a second lockdown should be put to a vote in Parliament and have signalled that they will go against their party.
Tory MP Desmond Swayne said he thought the Government would win a vote on extra lockdown measures but said those who want to express dissent as elected representatives ‘have every right to do so’.
He told MailOnline: ‘I don’t doubt it is a difficult decision, but that doesn’t alter it being the wrong decision. The things that it does to our economy our health and everything else is worse than the disease they are combating.’ Andrew Bridgen MP also suggested he would not support the measure. He said: ‘These are huge decisions that the government has to make with enormous economic and political ramifications.
The Sage so-called experts won’t be held to account for the correctness of their decisions at the next general elections. We will.’
Very heavy skies here today, but the high winds we had yesterday have relented. I don't mind cycling in rain within reason, but rain and strong winds don't tempt me out on my bike at all.
