“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”- George MacDonald

Trust: A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability or the strength of smne or smthn.

The dictionary defines it with such ease. But to apply it in actuality is such a task! It takes a lot of belief in another person to have unwavering trust. A friend, a lover, family or colleague. one needs to trust them. but why is it so? In this cynical world where everything seems to have its price, what place or value does trust hold? And it's wisely said, "Takes years to build and moment to shatter. Such is Trust".

I have had my moments where my trust has been misplaced or apt. There are moments when I question my whole belief system as to why or howor what have i done, should or shouldn't do. As I grow older, the cynicism increases. My genial nature seems to become caustic and bitter. Is this because I am vary of the things around me? Is this because I also see my friends being led off track from what is a perfect life that's rosy and comfortable?

I don't know what to say... I don't want to sound bitter or undermined. But then do I trust you in knowing what is to say?
