Trust.

I figured one thing the past few days after my lengthy conversation with Klein. Of course other people did say things that bring a spark to a similar lightbulb. You see,when we talk about trust, as in trusting the person in a relationship especially, its all about whether you want to trust him/her, NOT about whether you can trust him/her.

These are 2 different things. If you WANT to trust the person, you will do it. However, if you do NOT WANT to trust the person, no matter how you try.. there's no way in achieving it. I find it quite distressing whenever I hear the terms "she says she cannot trust me.." or "i cannot trust you..". I mean look,.. there's no way you can trust him if you do not want to in the first place?!

Usually its due to some incident that happened resulting in the loss of it, so both parties have to work together in order to make the relationship last. And not sit on the fat bottom and wait for a miracle to happen. Issues big or small, all can be resolved. There's no such thing such as a problem too difficult to fix.

Sometimes, as human being we tend to miss out on the big picture and focus solely on the small ones. If you say you can no longer trust that person, then think of what can be done to gain it back. For crying out loud, think of the solutions instead of the problems all the time.

I am not sure if I am making much sense here but at least do think about it. Consider wisely before you start throwing the word TRUST around freely. If I am wrong about this, then at least leave a comment to educate everyone here instead. Comments are definitely appreciated.

You are making perfect sense ... solutions over problems ... big picture over small details ...

Allow me to add on ... if another has desire to mend the fences and work at a compromise .. then no manner of logic will sway their thinking ...

The only you can do ... is to trust that they will find their way .. on their own .. and if they choose otherwise, know that you have made every effort to cultivate that trust once ...

We can only do so much ... we are not God
