Life’s like this… seldom can you have complete trust in a person. This might be a cynical view, but in reality, it might be a healthy principle to live by. Years ago I coined the phrase, “Trust is the basis of all positive relationships.” In life, I would venture to say all positive relationships must be grounded in trust.
Each of us are engaged in countless relationships, many that you may not be consciously aware of that involve varying degrees of trust. Trust sometimes is based on experiences that you have with an individual that has developed over time. But quite often, by necessity, we have to engage in blind trust. For example, when you are driving your car down a two-lane road, you have to accept by blind trust that the car in the other lane will be kept under proper control and not cross into your lane causing a head-on accident. On the other hand, someone who has demonstrated to you over an extended period of time that you can depend on them can be deemed completely trustworthy. Or can they?
