Trust and Broken Soul
December 8th 2006 12:32
Trust.
A crucial fundamental element to a relationship between two people.
When trust is broken, it may be difficult to rebuild.
For some people, it may not be something that is important in their life.
For others, it builds into their moral structure that you believe everyone is honest in their dealings.
What goes through your head when your trust is broken?
Do you shrug it off like it's one of those things that happen or does it impact you?
Once trust is broken too many times, you may start to question people's integrity in their dealings.
Using a personal experience as an example.
I am of the belief that people are honest, especially towards the people you care about.
I had a very close friend whom I no longer have any contact with due to trust being shattered.
Having as close a friendship we had, I trusted him in his actions and his words.
I had known him to be someone of the highest of integrity.
However, I later on discovered lies he'd told me that made me question our friendship.
Trust was broken and it affected me in a way I never thought it would.
It broke my soul.
I have always been a very easy-going, happy-go-lucky type of person.
But this experience made me questioned the motives and actions of everyone around me.
Are they being honest in their dealings with me?
Are these friendships without agendas?
From what foundations are these friendships built on?
This ties to another post I made about hurting the people you love.
If you truly love someone, why would you do anything to hurt them?
Would you not want the best for them?
What would make someone break another person's trust.
The friend I'd mentioned gave his reason as selfishness.
The person I known him as: someone who cared about the greater good of the world, the environment, human rights, environmental movement, human evolution, love as the world's energy vibration ...
These all turned out to be hypocrisy on his part.
He had exuded this facade of great kindness but beneath it all, he was a liar.
His own insecurities led him to using people to advance his real agenda and along the way, he hurt the people closest to him.
His cravings for fame and fortune outweighed the kindness that existed in him.
And that's sad.
The trust between him and I was broken and so was my soul.
So how important is trust to you?
