Re: Mind's Eye trust

"Trust would change nature" suddenly reminded me of the story of the "Fox and the Scorpion".   Like you, I am not keen on the concept, it requires I subjugate my beloved and cherished ability to "control" the circumstance.

We probably trust the wrong people too quickly Facil.  Psychopaths are very adept at getting trust.  I don't like the concept much, though would like to know more as Molly suggests above.  If we had more facts to work with and better ability in argumentation (other than rhetoric) trust would change nature.

I trust anyone who earns my trust.

Many a sad epitaph begins with "We thought we could trust them".  To me, trust is like the medial moraines on a glacier.

A consideration of trust does require self examination. Who do I trust, how, when, why? Do I trust the intentions of others? So I trust that politicians, in general, are working in the best interest of their constituents? When things seem to go "wrong," do I trust that everything will be alright? Can I trust that I will persevere in every circumstance?

In every case there is a relationship between self and other or self and group that requires clear perceptions and understanding of the people and dynamic. I think that clarity, or lack of, often creates barriers to trust and challenges in dynamic.

But no matter what we are experiencing at any given time, a certain amount of trust is required to continue the momentum in life.  Trust that life works, that I can work in life. If I am not trusting others, how does that effect my experience. My viewpoint? My life? What do you think?

Doubt is another good topic. The movie with Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman was terrific. Made me examine at my own doubt.

Trusting yourself is the crux I suppose. Some people never fail to disappoint and in those cases, trusting yourself may redeem the experience.

I've been thinking about something that Don said, about not trusting many people.  Is trust important in our relationships?  Can we extend trust to everyone, at least a modicum of it? What does it take to trust someone completely?
