What is the definition of trust? How do we perceive it? a simple way of putting it is:
" In a social context, trust has several connotations.The typical definition of trust follows the general intuition about trust and contains such elements as:
the willingness of one party (trustor) to be vulnerable to the actions of another party (trustee);
reasonable expectation (confidence) of the trustor that the trustee will behave in a way beneficial to the trustor;
risk of harm to the trustor if the trustee will not behave accordingly; and
the absence of trustor's enforcement or control over actions performed by the trustee."

These days some people tend to just follow what the majority think and not what is in their hearts. Let's face it based on our history as humans the trust we put on some people can tend to be harmful even deadly by some accounts (historical war strategies,football tactics,financial advise, etc).I believe it is okay to have some form of doubt when making a decision based on the trusts of others since sometimes those decisions can be the wrong one.
Which one would you prefer? being wrong by your own decisions or by influence of others and learning from it? or hating yourself and wishing you would have stood your ground instead of following others and being resentful of it? In my opinion, I think people start playing the "blaming game" instead of the first option above. Human beings sometimes tend to start blaming others instead of one's self first.Plus we tend to start our quarrels with the party at fault before trying to fix the predicament we are in (unless it is the other parties fault and you have no remedy for your predicament then by all means get your boxing gloves on!)
Let's face it, some human beings are manipulative and tend to use those who trust them just to get what they want and then ditch their fellow trustees. One should always cherish the trusting bonds we have on each other, I mean doesn't religious teachings actually teach us to come clean and be completely honest with our intentions and actions? (good ones).Pretty sure that the world will be in a better state diplomatic wise if it were to happen.
All I can say is that it is actually okay to have doubts, for within those doubts are some ideas you can use to find ways to solve your problems if those you trust goes and screws you over.Be broad minded and open yourself to others and be honest with each other,that should achieve at least some minimal level of harmony in the community.Loyalty should not be misused for evil deeds, if possible maybe change your ways before someone else does it to you and let you taste your own poison.Anyways I'm sorry if this post is sensitive to any readers, this is just my opinion and not me preaching saying to follow;just expressing my thoughts that's all. Anyways till next time, laters folks.
