Trust is one of the most lovely gifts that we can give another person. It allows us to open our hearts and reveal our secrets, to rely on someone who does not want to hurt us, to trust that our partner is not going to intentionally hurt us. When people are in trust, they are also in friendship and become stronger, they become courageous to face this life together. However, in the beauty of trust, there is a darkness, when the person we trusted becomes the person we can no longer trust.
When trust is violated, it is the darkest of all possible betrayals.
When you lose someone's trust, they go beyond what they have done wrong, they hurt you. They also alter an individual's perception of others. Your friend will teach you to keep silent if he or she reveals your secret. If your partner is lying frequently, it might make you feel suspicious of the things he says. When someone says that they will be there for you but then they fail to show up at the time you need them most, it can make you hesitant to trust them or anyone else again.
The person that we trust the most is sometimes the person who knows just exactly where to hurt us. They know our strengths and weaknesses, our fears and our dreams, and what we don't always say to other people. If that knowledge is directed at us, the pain can be more than just a disappointment. It's as if somebody we let in comes near and wounds us.
Trust can also be perilous when it is uninformed. There is no universal universal force of love that is shown by a broad smile. Not all friends are "friends of the heart. There are people who will stay close due to kindness, connections, good money, information, or vulnerability. By not paying attention to character and actions, we sometimes look after a person who wasn't looking after us.
But the answer is not to give up on the trust completely.
Once you have been betrayed, it's easy to erect barriers around your heart and say that you will never trust anyone else again. Without trust, however, life without trust can be another kind of jail. Your feelings of guilt might stem from someone else's actions towards you. May reject genuine love due to a lost relationship that ended badly. You might be able to drive away good friends and worried that they may let you down in the future.
The better way would be to know how to trust sensibly.
Relationships should be developed over time. Don't listen to what people say, look at what they do. Take note of their attitude toward those who cannot help them. Be aware of their adherence to small promises before allowing them to attend to bigger ones. Consistency is a sure indicator of a person's character.
Ultimately, never overlook warning signs just because of your affection for someone. Boundaries are taught by wisdom, love can encourage forgiveness. When you forgive someone, it's not giving them permission to come into your life at any time.
The lesson that the darkness of trust holds for us is a hard one but also a good one: A good heart requires wisdom. We can be kind and not naive. We can learn from the lessons, while forgiving without forgetting. It's possible to love and maintain our boundaries.
Betrayal isn't the end of trust, it's the beginning of how trust should be earned!
And maybe the best thing to learn is never to let someone's betrayal make your beautiful heart sour. Safeguard your heart, gain from your suffering, and persist in wisdom.
