Trust is not two-faceted: you trust or you don't trust. It is like Bush's famous "you either with us or you're against us". That is fallacy. There are degrees of trust. I would have less trust in a starving man to watch over my plate of juicy, hot steak than I would with a date who is having the same thing. I can trust my associate at work with a secret, but trust my spouse more (even though she/he might reveal it if a divorce came around). You see trust is analog, not digital. It is better to talk about percent trust. Therefore,someone you know very well, you would have 87% trust; your spouse 95% trust; your enemy, 5% trust; your government, 50% trust, etc.

with me trust is something you earn, it is not freely given. It is not required by law...LOL. It is my choice to give you the gift of my trust.

Yes, I believe you can at sometime fully trust someone. You trust them with your own life. It takes a lot of years of building this trust to obtain this degree of trust. You can trust someone, but it can be easily broken at any time.

you can choose to trust someone regardless of how much logic you try to use.

To trust someone is setting up expectations and conditions. To trust is like conditional love. Trusting does not allow change. To love is different from trust. If i love someone it means that i love them regardless of whether they choose to love me or anyone else. There is a freedom in not trusting & being trusted. To feel that you can change your mind about anything or anyone is freedom. Only those who trusted that you dont change are those who only understand conditional love (tit for tat). Love everyone, trust no-one. As i said in the title, trust is childish, therefore perfectly acceptable for children. The question is whether you want to grow up. Trust & you will inevitably ge hurt because it means that you have unreasonable expectations of others.

I personally cannot trust someone easily...in this world, that is full of scary people who kill and abuse, I always have this idea that one should not trust other people...but i know that thinking like that is wrong, because we are all people and trust begets trust. All there is to it is having confidence in yourself, and trust yourself to make right choices, and trust the right kinds of people. And when it turns out that some people do things that make you lose trust in them, then let go of that, and move on. so the short answer, yes we can trust people based on our own trust in ourselves to make the right choices...nothing is absolute, and even trust will be broken...but that does not mean that we should be all to ourselves...we humans are communal creatures.

my opinion is you can't trusat anyone.because if you think about it everyone lies.so you coulden't possably trust any one.

THE ONY PERSON YOU CAN TRUST IN IS YOURSELF AND YOUR GOD. NO ONE ELSE, YOU PUT YOU TRUST IN PEOPLE YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR HEARTACHE AND PAIN
