Trust

Trust what does trust mean to you? Does it purely mean honesty? or is it always knowing someone who you care about will be there for you? How do you know if someone is trustworthy? I have heard of couples that have been together for 40 years and then after all that time they got a divorce. Wouldn't you think that after 40 years with another person you would really know and trust that person? Apparently not. Trust is something that is used so lightly, and so easily misunderstood. People so badly want to be trusted, they want to be trusted by their parents, their loved one, their boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife. We all want trust but do we really honestly understand what trust is? I believe that trust is being able to count on someone to be there to always tell you the truth (bad or good truth) Someone who will hold you while you cry your eyes out, someone who won't just stand by and watch you be beaten up by everyone around you. (Verbal and physical) A trustworthy person is someone who doesn't pretend that there is no problem when really they know there is, someone who will stand up for you. That is a trustworthy person. But what if they don't do this? does this mean that all trust is lost and unable to recover from? How do you know that the person who broke your trust won't do it again? are you willing to take the chance? It really is a shot in the dark, because no matter how many times the person swearers to always tell you the truth they are sinful and flawed and will always let you down no matter what. But by giving everyone your trust wrong? or the way to get over heart break? By just believing that next time it will be totally different. Or is that the way to have your soul crushed?
