There are a multitude of levels of trust. I trust my dear friends with my life, but only one with any secret or problem I may have. Many know some aspects of my life I have shared with them but this one person knows it all and will never betray it-not sure I can say the same for the rest.
I don't trust myself to always make the right decision, but I trust myself enough to be able to forge ahead.
Too many have broken their trust-borrowing from me and breaking promises to pay it back; swearing their truth or love and taking it back with lies and leaving.
It is a matter of integrity and unfortunately, some who I thought had it, failed at the slightest provocation. I prefer the 'benefit of the doubt' approach in most cases....trust, but still watch for the slip-ups.
