I got to thinking about relationships and trust lately. Trust allows us to share our thoughts, ideas, and emotions. It's obvious that we will choose not to engage in any relationship with someone we can hardly share information with (in this day and age, the information I refer to exists outside of facebook, myspace, etc.), but what about the ones we do? What allows us to trust them and not others?
Every relationship has a certain amount of trust. The level of trust determines the type of relationship and differentiates between an acquaintance and a best friend. Trust can take years to build but only a second to destroy. Can a relationship survive without trust? Will a relationship continue to blossom once the trust is broken?
Someone once said, "trust is like a mirror, once it's broken, you will never look at it the same anymore." It is rather pessimistic to think of it this way but can we really pretend that the cracks aren't there staring at us every time we look in the mirror?
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Feel free to comment!
really enjoyed reading this post. i could totally relate! lol. just recently i realized that some men are really meant to be deceiving... behind that gorgeous look, and sometimes even behind a pleasant personality. it would really be nice if people starts playing a fair game.
