Trust

Trust from people is a very hard thing to receive from people. Honesty is also another thing that is hard thing to receive from people. I think that these should often go hand in hand. I think lying and not being honest with people go hand in hand as much as trust and honesty does. The world now a days says not to trust anything. How many times have you heard a person say, "I don't trust anyone." compared to them saying, "Oh yea, I trust everyone." I have a big problem with trusting people because of past events. I am not saying I don't lie. I do lie, everybody does, but I usually lie about small stuff. Like I once told this person I know that I did something mean to someone on purpose to make them like me. Well I didn't, it was a complete accident, but I told him what I told him because at the time it made me look better and I respected the person to want to make that person respect me more. Dumb move on my part. What I am saying is that honesty and trust don't always go together as much as we would like them to. I guess you can't always be honest with someone you know because you are afraid to hurt them. Maybe you can't be honest sometimes because you can't trust the person you want to be honest with. I don't know what the solution is to the trust and honesty problem. Myself though I would like the truth always. I found that the truth is always the best way to go.
