I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

If you take a sample of people and ask them what quality they most value in a relationship, at least 50% are likely to say trust. However trust goes beyond believing I would not cheat on you when you are away or that you won’t cheat when I am absent. Trust is faith, hope, reliance, dependence, confidence, conviction, expectation, belief and a lot more.
Trust is supporting you whether I understand your vision or not, it is that ability to say ‘do you want wings or a ticket?’ when you say you want to fly.
Trust is knowing I have got your back when you go facing your fears. It is relying on me to fan the flames of your fire when you need to catch some sleep.
Trust is confidence to tell me about all your business deals because you know I won’t sell you out. Trust is my absolute surety that you will succeed and make me proud. It is expecting nothing but your best from you.
Trust though is a bank. You must deposit to withdraw. This is the reason it is said that trust is earned. You cannot continue to overdraw you account and expect me not to close it or expect not to suffer some penalties for the breach of contract.

Wow! Am really amazed! I never knew u could write this good! It is indeed a very good write up,
A lot of us take "trust" for granted. We either don't trust completely or don't trust @ all but expect our partners to trust us whole heartedly. I hope we change our mind set so that all will be well. Ufuoma
