Odysseys of George

This came up yesterday, and I was somehow disturbed by it. It is not easy to trust somebody. So what is trust? Trust to me is both physical and emotional. Emotional because it is where you expose your vulnerabilities to someone, but believing they will not take advantage of you. Physical, because it will come a time where one may need to exercise this emotional trust that is to rely upon or have confidence on that person. But is this all? In my research, trust means being able to predict what other people will do and what situations will occur. Trust means making an exchange with someone when you do not have full knowledge about them, their intent and the things they are offering to you. Trust is an integral part in a relationship. Without trust, there is no future. Lies kills trust, that I learnt from my experience.

So, when we worry does it mean you lack the trust? Maybe, but not always. Depends on what the issue is the cause of worry. Worry is usually about the possibility of something that could happen to somebody you love or care for. So if something happens, how does it effect trust? Or rather should it ever shake the trust?
