Trust is a lot like Life. It takes a very long time to develop, to evolve, to adapt. But all it needs is one small event to kill most of it.

They say the first Ice Age was started because of plate tectonic movements. The strait of Gibraltar was closed and the Mediterranean lost its only source. It emptied into the oceans and changed the density of salt in the ocean water. Now the oceans were more susceptible to freezing, and thats what happened. More heat was lost as the ice on the oceans reflected back a part of the sun's rays. So. More ocean froze. The rest, is history.

What I mean to say is that that there is trust. It takes a very long time to build. But in one swift move, its gone. For a long time, you might be oblivious of that swift move.

Do you see any evolution of life that has been rushed? You haven't? Thats cause it hasn't lasted through the ages. The same can be said about prematurely trusting a person.

But the beautiful thing about Trust is that it cannot be lost forever. You're reading this entry, aren't you? That means you aren't dead. But you know an Ice Age has happened. Thats the beauty of Life. Thats the beauty of trust.

But you know what? There are countless number of incidents where you might easily lose the other person's trust. But, you don't. In David Swan, a lesson in my curriculam, Nathaniel Hawthorne says that unexpected things thrust themselves in our path, but still there is regularity enough in human life. To interpret it in one way relative to this entry would be to say that all around you there are actions being played out that will destroy your trust with another, but probability says you'll  be in the dark about it.

I hate it when I lose trust. I hate it when I can tell a person everything and anything and then, suddenly, I'm unsure. Thats happened to me alot. I was too trusting, but not anymore. It hurts more when you work hard at developing trust, and then, see it break.
