It takes only seconds for us to
trust someone but years to forget someone who deceived us. We think and regard
highly of the importance of trust that we feel offended, insulted even, when we
are wronged. We say it is okay but innately we are not okay as the experience
lingers in us more than we could ever want.
The moment we trust someone means
we are accepting of him and in return, we are ready to impart part of ourselves
to him. To adhere to an idea of exchange, we bring forth the ability of the
self to connect with another thus allowing growth to take place. Growth here
exudes from the connection established with another resulting to trust thus
when it is broken, our world crashes and is destroyed.
An understanding between two or
more individuals, may it be of friends, lovers and filial ones, paves the way
for trust to be born. To say such implies that there is importance given to the
personhood of another and to that extent, a certain degree of personal
connection is established.
