Trust

I have to express a few opinions, or my philosophy, on a certain thing called "trust."

First of all, people have some people they believe they can trust with anything, sometimes even the deepest, darkest secrets. However, I don't believe so. I don't think ANYONE should be trusted with information. Some people, and by "some" I mean "in a very rare occurrence," can be trusted. Because here is my philosophy on this: you don't trust those that you tell things to, you trust whoever they tell it to. For example, you tell your best friend a secret, and he tells 4 or 5 of his friends, but they do not speak a word of it. This I have learned from personal experiences. How? Well, I'm one of those persons that are told things, and don't speak of them; I'm the person the so-called "trusted one" tells. Since I do not speak of what I am told, the "trusted one" seems like a trustworthy individual when truly he or she is not; I am.

Next philosophy is that of one that Lawrence Lief has said once before: "Those you trust the most can steal the most." Those that you let get close to you and trust can sometimes take away from you. One example I can think about to describe this at the moment is when you let your bestfriend hang with your girlfriend (believing he would never do anything he shouldn't) and finding out after that they are sleeping together. Also, another example, is one in which you do anything for your best friend, help him out with anything, trusting that he would repay you some how, and then betraying you and leaving you after you did everything he needed. Also, that quote can be interpreted in many other ways, but I will let you discover the others.
