TRUST: The Fragile Yet Costly Commodity

• How many people do you trust, as to hold them in conscious undisputed believe? Do you trust people at all or do you, even, trust yourself? 

Yes, so many a people do not have a litany of those they trust; and some go to the extent of not trusting themselves-their minds and capabilities. And that's so, because trust is one vital, one costly item that is not so readily given out. It is a precious and a fragile commodity, whose value is strewn into itself; itself being a substance so highly tender and equally highly cherished.

But what is the description of trust, by the way? Our understanding of what trust substantially represents will help us view it the way it should be. It will also help us understand its worth and be able to give same its rightful place.

Trust is the act of entirely committing the mind to outside will. It is the reliance on the ability of a thing without necessary having prior knowledge of it. Trust is the show of confidence or faith in the quality of another.

While people can trust another for the reason of the person's record, some others could still throw out the tentacles with the faith that what they expect turns to be a good catch. However, a man whose lot is misfired feels a great sense of hurt when his trust turns out to be misplaced.

The victim of a bruised trust feels betrayed, feels stabbed at the back and feels heart broken and never to trust again. The healing process for such could be hard, it might even be unachievable. It is difficult, a near-impossibility to restore a mind that has poured out itself and holding firmly unto the assurance of what has been perceived to offer and which reality defies. It is almost entirely like trying to get back a spilt milk-an action which is undeniably difficult.

The reason is because the warp and waft of trust are deeply constructions of the mind, which it has arrived at after a to and fro motion and which it finally decided, after giving self to the determination of fate, to weave upon the entrusting element.

Thus, the receiver of trust must bear in mind that when someone entrusts, what the person necessarily does is akin to giving out all his mind's rationale and emptying his soul to you to do as will. It is as such necessary to hold this fragile commodity with the awareness of its tenderness.

However devastating an entrusting element might be at such destruction of fragility, the betrayer, apart from realizing the inflicted pain, must understand how he has proved himself unworthy of the trust he had been offered. It suggests how undeserving he is of such magnitude of a rare commodity.

Trust is fragile, trust is rare and trust is so very costly. The breaking of its fragility is shattering, devastating and painful. The reason why it must be hard to offer it out, no matter how reliable one feels the other is. The only persons you could trust are you and you; this might appear easy, but then, it is not practically.

Trusting yourself requires knowing and believing in your worth. This takes time because it is a process of self-building and of unraveling of one's inherent worth and capacity. You must realize how essentially capable you are; and that is only when you are highly exhibiting the very nature of God, your creator, who alone is most reliable and unfailing.

If and when you know that you probably could lack this credibility, it highly questions your own value and credibility too, and how untrustworthy to yourself you are.  Thus, the assurance of the self of its ability - an assurance which is spurred by internal records of consistent, is necessary for self-conviction for a self-trust. But then, if you can't trust yourself, who can trust you/who can you trust?
