Why is it that trust, once broken, is one of the few things that is almost impossible to repair? It is the fear of repeatable offenses, an ego too large to squash twice, or is it stubbornness or perhaps bravery to not give one the opportunity to fix what is lost?
How much time does it take to regain this trust? Once trust is regained, is there an ability to trust more than what you once did? I have only given my trust to a very select few in my life, and it isn’t because I don’t think more are trustworthy, I just believe that trust should be one of the hardest things to earn in life. It is about honor, respect, faith, and love.
Trust is more evident as the holidays turn the corner. Strangers reach out for a helping hand; charity donations and food drives are plastered on every telephone pole and Internet site. Trust isn’t only between two people…it can simply be trusting in your brakes as you make your way down a steep hill. Trust and faith are quite frequently synonymous.
Below are some pictures that seem to display a deep trust between the subjects. Sometimes you don’t have a choice whether to trust or not, and sometimes trust isn’t obvious to every observer.
