Trust No One?

Trust is a very important factor in any kind of relationship whether it be intimate, friends, family, or even co-workers. It's evident that we all expect and yearn for trust from our peers as an unwritten, sacred bond. When people break such a bond, we view them in a different way than we once did before. Some people are harder to forgive than others, but ultimately the same level of trust can never be restored to its original state. So what does this mean? Should we really trust no one and live a life of secrecy or never reveal too much?

While trust is hard to both gain and earn, we can't live our lives trust-less. Learning proper techniques and strategies as a person as to who we can trust and who to not is something that most people struggle with. Although there will be individuals who break our trust, this should not be a reflection of everyone, but merely be an eye-opening experience to those who may not mean us any good. Life experience will show you who is trustworthy, though one can never be 100% sure about any one person in general. Just as sure as we think we know someone, they can disappoint us in ways we thought unimaginable. One of the best things to keep in the back of your conscious is to be cautious and even when someone breaks their trust with you, don't reciprocate the behavior. Learn from the experience and try to always make the best and wisest decision possible.
