Trust

If there was a theme for this week for me, it would have been entitled "Trust".

The issue of Trust has come up so often this week that it has really got me thinking. In our complex human society, trust is the glue that binds individuals who have come together to interact.

With friends, you share secrets, you act so as not hurt them, you do things for them without them asking.

All these take a certain amount of trust to be granted and received.

What happens when that trust is lost? I have been on both sides of misplaced trust this week, both as the person who lost it because I did something wrong, and as the person whose trust in someone has been misplaced.

Tiring man.

Sigh.
