Trust

Is there an absolute way to determine if an individual can infallibly trust another? Our primal instinct of self preservation (also the preservation of loved ones) prevents an individual from being capable of absolute trust. Is the act of breaking trust considered a negative or a positive act (necessary/unnecessary/forgivable/unforgivable)? That depends if the act of breaking trust was intentional and/or unintentional. The reason being, an individual committing a breach of trust may be forced to do so, because of the instinctive, coercive act of self-preservation (preservation of loved ones). To further understand the concept of trust, one must analyze intentional/unintentional reasons. An understanding of this will also help to determine if the breach in trust can be forgiven, or never forgotten. “If trust is breached unintentionally, you can forgive and or forget. If trust is breached intentionally (depending on the reason), never forgive and never forget.” – Matthew. Intentional reasons for breaking trust fall into two categories. The acceptable reason for breaking trust (one that can be forgiven but not forgotten) involves an overwhelming weight, that an individual is incapable of handling him/herself. That individual would never intentionally break your trust but is either mentally or physically weak to wield the sacred act of trust (a “pure” heart lacking the mind to use it). That kind of person can only be trusted under ideal circumstances; however can’t and shouldn’t be trusted entirely (for their and your own protection). The second reason for breaking trust reveals an individuals “spirit”. It will determine whether that person is evil or primarily good. Intentionally breaking trust is comprised of being mentally and physically capable to withstand the pressure that causes a breach of trust. This individual will, for the most part, be very intelligent and physically capable to preserve the sacred act of trust, but will breach it regardless. He/she will either approach the breach of trust in a cunning manor or be extremely blatant. Such an individual will often have these characteristics. He/she will be sadistic (to some degree), and will have a lust for capital (accumulation of wealth), and will most likely be unethical/immoral, but not to the naked eye (there are grey areas). Trust is SACRED. Trust can never be given, it must constantly be earned. An individual or entity that claims they can be trusted has already broken your trust. Individual/entity that can be trusted, (not entirely but with a benefit of a doubt) usually prove their intentions through actions. Actions in fact do speak volumes, than a word ever could. Trust is sacred and in that respect, should never be absolute. To constantly earn trust; is to attain a degree of complete trust in the past tense and only in the past. In the present tense, your actions in the past will give you credibility to further earn the sacred act of trust in the future. It will forever be an eternal struggle, something so precious, always is (an eternal struggle).
