Trust

Trust is as much of on an anomaly as Love

It is odd that the two things go hand in hand when they are so different, but in any relationship they are equally important.

To make an rough analogy; While Love is an emotion that will drive you to the ends of the earth, trust is the engine fuel that keeps it running.

But alone, trust is more. In family it is a sign of loyalty. In business it is a sign of mutual respect for efficiency and the law. Between friends it is what lets you know who's got your back.

In times long ago, the Bedouin tribes, before the coming of Islam, put family before clan, and clan before belief, and belief before friends.

This system ran on trust and honor, and without it, the world would surely be a different place.

This much is obvious, for trust is the first thing a person takes into account when judging another.


However, deeper then the interactions between people each and every day, also lies trust. The kind that if broken, will never be repaired.

This is wrong.

This is an almost sacred bond that exists between human beings. It is the reason for every terrible break-up in the world, for every divided family, and for every mislead friendship.

Trust is also the last thing a person looks at when judging another.


Think of a world without trust.

There would be no honor, this is true, and chivilry would be out the window as well.
People could never be honest with one another, and economics would cease to exist on a whole, and with it, the rest of the world.

But also... every family would stay together to the end. Every relationship that should end well, would.

I am not suggesting that we forgo all trust, throw loyalty the wind, and live alone everyman for himself, but i think that trust once destroyed is an unfair fight.

Humans are not infallible.

We all deserve second chances.

Always forgive, never forget.
