Trusting another can be hard enough. Trusting another who has let us down, or who strikes us as being similar to someone who has let us down, is a challenge many of us cannot bring ourselves to undertake. Yet without the ability to trust we are merely distrustful souls. And that is a heavy soul type to be.
For myself, I began to distrust a long time ago. I came to believe that those we are conventionally meant to trust are often the least trustful of all. Our parents, teachers, leaders, lawmakers, guardians and warriors often betray with cheap lebron james shoes us deception, lies, coercion etc and then ask us to trust them. This is like asking the wounded assistant to trust her fallible knifethrowing master. The trust, if it was ever there, has now become an anxiouscompliance.
I feel an ache for those who are merely anxietybased compliers. Yet they live a perpetually energy draining existing and end up using all sorts of 'crutches'; chemical, psychological and emotional. They become torn and worn. And I understand that.
The truly heartbreaking thing is that there are those who have moved beyond this torn and worn condition. They now live lives that have frays and threads, yet have become essentially trustworthy; like old sweaters that we throw on when those vulnerable days arise. The heartbreak is that they are often distrusted through habit rather than actual lack cheap charles barkley shoes of trustworthiness. Their only crime is to perhaps resemble one who has previously broken a trust; the trustbreaker breaks trust; full stop.
To lose trust is a terrible thing. Even the reflections in the mirrors can become questionable and the very ground upon which we walk can feel insecure and loose. Once the most loyal nike zoom kobe 7 for sale subject is betrayed, pollution of trust occurs; never to be fully purified. Even if 'made clean' like recycled drinking water; those who reengage with trust often do so fully aware that this time; the trust is recycled. It is not quite authentic.
In my experience the parent, teacher, leader, lawmaker, guardian and warrior who admits fallibility is far more appealing to their subjects if they are honest. Even the gullible often sense that the promotion of wisdom, knowledge and strength is an act of dishonesty. All are flawed.
