Fickle words...

Yep, It's me again.

Ok, I very rarely if ever, do these kind of philosophical blog posts... but today I just couldn't help myself. Maybe I am too tired or this is even perhaps a sign of insanity. (Trials have affected my brain.) Either way I'm doing this and no one will stop me.

So recently I've come to realise that trust can be blinding. After years of many experiences and good memories with a person, it is very easy to trust them with no hesitation. Makes sense, right? I mean, think about it. The people who are closest to you -your parents, siblings, friends and whomever else fits into that category- are probably people you would trust with your life (if we're talking about the great extent to which trust can exist). Even with acquaintances, you trust them with little things (obviously depending on the context of the situation).

For the record, I'm not paranoid about whether or not people back-stab me or anything like that, and it happens to everyone at some point. What I'm saying is that no matter how much you trust someone, that trust is limited.

It is also unpredictable. Take for example, when you first meet someone. It takes months or years to build up a certain amount of trust in that person -if you get along with them. Yet, in one moment it can be so easy to break that trust or friendship. Mind you, this depends on the severity of the situation.

I believe it is a constant tug of war for some people to open up to those around them. To talk about things that trouble them, especially when it's hard to explain, is a difficult task sometimes. Opening up, means revealing your strengths and weaknesses -something which people can easily use against you if they really wanted. And, this is where trust comes in. In trusting that person to not use anything against you, no matter how much they may end up disliking you in future.

This, is the essence of trust.

So... let me know what you guys thought about my post, if you want. You're choice, and I just wanted to have a random shout-out to my good friend Maria whom I haven't seen in a while, regrettably. I just want to say that I wish her good luck in her studies and I hope we can catch up soon. It's been way too long :)

That's it for now, cheers :L
