To Trust Or Not To Trust?

How do you establish whether to trust a person or not? Do you trust him/her just because he/she is your friend? Family member? Husband/Wife? Girlfriend/Boyfriend? Colleague? Your teacher? Your priest? Some stranger on the street??

Well, the answer to this question is....You can never establish TRUST. Trust is such an ambiguous matter that nobody in the world could predict, even if you can read their minds from 100 miles out. Why? Because humans are built to change according to situations, environments and influences. Humans can change their minds, decisions and point of views within seconds...which is why trust can never be established 100% by anyone. Maybe except Jesus...he knew that Judas was gonna betray him....and he knew that Peter was gonna deny him 3 times...lol..I'll give Jesus credit for that!! But my point still stands!

Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying that you shouldn't trust anyone...but what I'm saying is that trust is a leap of faith. For example, a mother who can't swim promises her son that she's definitely gonna save him if he falls into the sea. If her son says that "I trust you with my life", then I would say that he's definitely lying...if not knowingly, then subconciously. Which is why I say trust is a leap of faith. A leap of faith produced by the bond between the mother and the son that establishes the so-called "TRUST". Say AMEN if you agree with me! Hehe..

Anyway, enough with the philosophy. The point of writing about this topic is because I start to realize that there are non-trustworthy people around me whom I am not aware of. Everyones lies...that's the fundamentals of life, which is why trust cannot be established in any ways. The fact of life is, parents lie to you, friends betray you, your partner cheats on you, your colleague stabs you in the back, your teacher molests you, your priest distorts the truth and preach to you, and strangers try to con you.

TO TRUST OR NOT TO TRUST? That is the question!

I was quite disappointed with a person over the past few days. I'm not going to go into details...but all I can say is that this person lied to me and he/she did a really terrible thing for which he/she didn't feel guilty about. I've known this person since forever and I cannot believe that he/she did this. The worst thing is that instead of apologizing sincerely, he/she tried to give all sorts of excuses for which I thought was bullshit, just to regain his/her trust from me and my anonymous associates.

And what's with this person with double identities anyways?? He/she says it's for business purposes, but if he/she can't even use his/her real name for business purposes, how can the other party trust him/her? It's like the fundamental aspect of the business is already a scam. How do you expect us to trust ppl like these? So from now on, I won't trust this person ever again. I'm not saying that I won't hang out with him/her again, but I definitely will never confide in her ever again. This friendship is done. I'm not being a drama queen...I just don't need ppl like these in my life terrorizing my mind. I've got a lot on my plate already...I don't need psychotic friends who try to seek attention by terrorizing other ppl's lives.

Anyway...I probably won't be seeing him/her for a really long time after I'm back in Sydney. So I'm not really stressing much about this matter. OMG...I miss Sydney so much. I miss the weather...the food...the people...my room...and my friends there. Gosh...I even miss school!! I can't wait to be back in action again. Although the past week of holiday had been quite interesting, hanging out with my family and friends...I kinda missed all the fun and action in the kitchen.

There's only a couple more days left of my holidays...so I'll try to enjoy as much as I can. Alright...gotta go now! See ya'll later. Cheers!
