Dude. I completely agree with “Blackberry Molasses”. The issue of forgiveness is essential, but you have to be careful with whom you trust… sometimes trusting someone who’s not to be trusted can land you in a hell of a lot of trouble, a hell of a lot of heartache and years worth of struggle for peace of mind.
I think the issue here is wisdom, if you’re not wise about someone you decide to trust PLUS that person isn’t giving you reason enough to be able to trust them…it’s a delicate issue.
Bottom line here is, when it comes to me, a person has to prove themselves trustworthy to ME before I decide to trust them, despite their pasts or what people think of them if I think I can trust them then I will…but there’s only so much I’ll tolerate.
Good post though

Trust is a CALCULATED risk you take, not something you do just because someone asks. the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. some people just don’t know how to say “no.” also, unconditional love for children should not be equated to romantic love. the writer of this article has life and bullshit mixed up.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, trust can be exceptionally dangerous. I’m a firm believer in betrayal being a deal breaker. If you cheated on me, at that moment you cared nothing for my feelings, or my physical well being. There are too many diseases out there for you to be playing Russian Roulette. Its an unrecognized reality that condoms DO NOT protect you against everything. Even when used perfectly, every single time. So if you decide to throw it out there on the craps table, don’t expect me to take a gamble with you.

I may love you… but I love me more.

right on. let people live their lives. Like you, I’ve never understood why people get so ruffled if their advice – often unsolicited -is not promptly taken. I mean really, you expect your friend to say, “You’re right. I’m breaking up with him right now!” You expect this type of response from someone everytime you’re confronted with difficult information. Let that person deal with stuff her own way and i her own time. In the end, it’s more important for a person to make final decisions like that because of their own determinination, not because some one is always suggesting what they should do. Lest they never learn to trust the most important person ever, self.

I’m retracting my former statement. Trust is a stupid thing.

I used to trust all of the time. Yea, my friend will say “Don’t trust them”, but I’m hard-headed. The only time I don’t trust is when I have a legitimate reason on my end.

Kudos to this article…I’m reposting this on facebook.

You made me look at trusting somone in a different light. Trusting someone especially after they did you wrong does take COURAGE….but hey it makes stronger in the end. At the end of the day though….You can only trust and forgive somone so many times. it comes to a point when the bridge is burnt. But I agree….trusting someone isn’t dumb its an act of being Brave. Just be wise.

Trust is synonymous with having unprotected sex with a hooker – there’s a 50/50 chance you might get burned.

It doesn’t make you a fool. I just have a thing about betrayal. I can forgive alot…just not betrayal. I don’t break my word nor do I respect those who break it to me, once broken I don’t put anyone in a position that I’d have to rely on their word. I do agree one on point and to use the phrase I prefer: Life is not about steering a course around pain. This issue is about principle.
