"Who" To Trust?

I can remember, so well, the famous quote (Don't trust your finger) as a full designated advice to avoid falling into mistreatment or dishonesty. I remember my reaction when I heard that, as well. It was when I almost turned nine. I asked right away "Which one?" assuming that they are different, and maybe, the smallest is the one to blame!

At that time my parents clarified the idea by another quote. Actually, an easier one. We have two ears and only one mouth, we better listen more than talk.

When we search for synonyms for the word (trust), we can find meanings like faith, belief, hope, dependence, reliance and conviction to be lined up as equivalences aside 'trust' and to give it extra powerful credit. Let's highlight 'hope' for our own credit, it's simply where our discussion begins with.

How far can we keep a secret? My mother use to say that I can't keep a secret from her, and she always finds out what's in my mind with just one look. But I realized that I tell my secrets only when I want to.. blow it out. Telling her my secrets were because of my decision, not hers. I trust her because I love her, and know that she loves me, and even more.

As we grow older and become parents ourselves, we are instructed to tell our children (We trust you not to do that) instead of (Don't do that). We plant the seeds of hope and gather it a trusted love. It's an endless hope for a "loving" trusted feeling. It is simply the circulation of love, hope and trust. We hope to keep other's secrets as a matter of trust. We become trustful persons ourselves. Then we trust others and they hope for us. We tell it only to protect others or to help them. We sometime chose the right time to tell it. We have to do it for love. If we don't, then the whole building will fall down. It will be so hard to rebuild it again, if not impossible.

Are we able to fulfill what we've asked for, fully, and with high credibility? Of course, if we trust ourselves.. enough!

Whom to trust lies in our beliefs. We can't trust anyone to start a relationship if we don't feel comfortable ourselves. The light of hope comes from within. Then it illuminates the surrounding. We are our trusted mirrors. They reflect our true colors. We are the cause of others to respect and trust us, and our success in life and work depends on how far we trust ourselves, in order to be trusted.
