Great feedback about trusting yesterday, including this from a great friend and generationally-talented artist, “You can trust . . . just don’t trust people.” It’s said, I’m sure, tongue in cheek, yet many of us have acted from that perspective in the past.
Fact is that we humans have let others down. We have ignored our promises. We have broken trust. Yet, we want to be trusted and to be trustworthy. And we desperately want to trust.
Someone said: “In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours.”
What is the nature of your relationships of trust that bind? How solid are they? What can they withstand? How confident are you of them no matter what?
Do you trust situations, animals, organizations, institutions more than you trust people? What changes would you like to experience in trusting other humans? How has your ability to trust been damaged? How can it be healed?
