RE: Who can "we" trust?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Trust is a funny thing. We say we trusted them, and they broke our trust. But what actually has broken is our opinions and assumptions about how we expect them to behave. Our trust isn't actually in them, it is in our judgement of them. We trust ourselves, so when they break our trust, we only really have ourselves to blame, because they are acting exactly how they acted.

"...what actually has broken is our opinions and assumptions..."

Even when our integrity has never been at risk, and sometimes it's only our pride (xrayman)

The greatest pain comes from breaking our assumptions. That's what I think, and what I've observed in myself. When my pride is somehow hurt or diminished, and I don't have the greatness to see beyond it, I feel that I have been betrayed, or attacked, when the attack is self-inflicted by self-pity!
