i don't think any kind of genuine friendship its possible unless there's trust i also don't believe that we can trust someone a little bit, you either trust someone or you don't-there's no in-between, now this is what i find to be very interesting to think about, so what is trust, what does it feel like, in the past, when I'd express my trust in someone, I'd tell them something along the lines "i know you'd never betray me", but actually, that's not true at all. for me, trust isn't about knowing for sure that something is or isn't going to happen, because we simply can't know, everyone we interact with, every person we have in our lives, is fully capable of hurting us, just like we're capable of hurting them, so trust then, is faith, rather than truth. it's choosing to believe, despite never knowing for certain. it's taking a leap of faith, over and over again. it's a choice you make every day, it's two people meeting in vulnerability, unsure but hoping, that the two will trust, much like love, is about letting go of control. because there is no control. there is only faith
Hmmmm, trust is faith, rather than truth....... OK, nice words...
