Truth
is I have been itching to write on this topic, for a century now; just a
handful of people out of the over 7 billion souls that walk the earth today are
worried about who to trust, when to trust, what to trust, how to and not to
trust, why trust at all or why not trust; so what is the question, what is
trust?, How to trust or Why Trust, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do justice
to these definitions, like I have always known, Man is complex, so delicate matters
as this that relates with man since conception are hard to give a definite or
indefinite definition; (pardon my French). So far for me, when I believe in
someone and his capacity to make due his promise without doubt or worry or
fear; I begin to have a feeling that I trust; but is this the meaning of trust?
Please not bore ourselves and waste taxpayers money with definitions.
Why trust, is what I really want us to talk about; the first time you flew with any airline, I can bet was a serious test of trust for you; I can say without any ounce of doubt that you believed completely in the ability of that airline to take you to your destinations; your thoughts were focused on the destination, you looked forward to enjoying the trip; maybe that was trust, lets rewind back to conception stage or when your mum conceived you; imagine how peaceful you were, health wise, as a matter of fact everything wise, no matter the trouble on the outside, there was peace on the inside, you had only one goal you were looking forward to, finishing your time and coming out. Truth is, that peace you had was made possible because of trust; now you are out (I know this because you are reading this paper does that mean that what worked on the inside can’t work on the outside? This is food for thought; I know you probably have a thousand and one reasons not to trust anymore, you probably have a thousand and one reason not to trust anymore, no matter what your story is, trust is that bitter pill or sunshine that will make it beautiful. So just the same way you navigate from this page after reading this piece and you trust that the internet or computer will obey your command, also trust everyone you meet or come in contact with; this is beautiful; if you still have doubts about people listen to chimamanda’s speech on ‘danger of a single story’ if you have doubts on life, read the bible (proverbs and john gospel) or Cohbams sppech on “life lessons” TED x, as the earth remains, trust is inevitable.
Jennifer Phillips, Michigan USA; 2014 argues that there is different levels of trust, its believing in high quality, she says that trust must be earned in any relationship; Mayeloye Esther, Benin republic; 2014 argues that trust is the highest level of believe. They both believe that trust is at different levels and for different scenarios, but one thing that is most important is that experience is the foundation of trust, and without experience we cannot trust completely or at all, we may have expectations set, they maybe high or low. I kind of agree with them on this, we must trust, we want to trust but we want to have a reason to trust, so this makes us extremely cautious of the people around us until they probable deliver on one or two promise they give to us, then we begin to trust, then it’s at different levels and as the relationship become stronger, the trust goes deeper; however if you ask me, this is true but there are questions that are begging for attention, questions like what if and this is a very big if, am now assured that you would not break the trust I have for you after maybe some experience I have had with you in the past and here comes a situation that probably test the trust I have for you and you fail me, what then should I do, should I overlook the fact that there is a reason and a valid reason at that for you to break my trust for you and punish you for that? Or should I let it go and call it a mistake. What if you don’t even deserve my trust, what if it’s all a show? What if all the time you have been acting up, just trying to gain my trust so that you can take advantage of that trust? So you will agree with me that there are questions and loop holes; so what more can I say? Trust is essential for our lives, it goes a long way to determine how much we get out of people we know and are around us. What is your say about TRUST?
