so I'll just write on it.
Should we trust our friends?
I believe that the very notion of friends comes along with mutual trust.
They are not just closely linked, but cannot exist without each other.
I mean, how can two people be friends and share their true feelings if they can't even trust each other?
Once established, Trust is a beautiful thing.
It is where one can seek solace, freely express, and receive honest opinions.
It is where there is little or no fear of backlash, just resonance and understanding.
It is where happiness is spread, burdens are shared and friendships are forged.
Yet, how much can we trust our friends?
Trusting someone need not mean trusting someone fully,
and neither does it mean you are wrong by not doing so.
It is the element of choice,
of whether or not you deem the person trustworthy enough to be given your precious trust.
Many people do not fully comprehend this relationship,
which is why many of times one might feel a sense of betrayal,
for the trust that one valued so highly was dealt with much indifference by a friend.
It is like seeing what you hold so dear undervalued and abused, even if it is not intentional.
Painful...
That said, I believe it is a real responsibility as a friend to truly understand and appreciate how much trust is being placed on you.
Even though Humans are social creatures,
we do not tend to trust everyone and anyone.
It is in those rare moments that we do, when we sincerely hope out trust can be understood by others.
As the recipient of this trust, it would only be responsible that we show we deserve the trust placed upon us,
and take care not to abuse this precious thing in any way.
It is a tall task to begin with, and not every person might be able to achieve it given an entire lifetime,
but once we see the true meaning behind the label of trust,
it only becomes second nature.
Trust is like a glass sculpture, beautiful, precious and dear;
but also fragile and easily shattered without due care and respect...
