Catch Me If You Can!

Human, being a social animal, is often faced with the question: Who can you really trust? It’s hard to explain when you can trust someone because there is not set criteria. This is one of those mysterious of life which you can only learn through experience, and luckily you won’t be burnt too badly. I was talking to one of my friends and the topic came up, and I remembered the “Trust Exercise” they always show. You stand with your hands open and let yourself fall back, and the person you trust has to catch you. The conflict is that, you should trust them enough to catch you because in your mind, you fear falling.

So after my conversation, I was thinking about the test. I realized that the test needed some modification. Let’s say, the person you trust tries to catch you, and you do fall because he wasn’t strong enough. Does that mean you can’t trust the person anymore? Ofcourse not, he/she tried his best. On the other hand, what would be a real test would be if you trusted the person enough to give him another chance. Yup, let yourself fall again knowing that there’s a high chance you will fall again. That my friend is trust. Trust or Stupidity (Hmm, double meaning?)

But really, trust is just like that fall. You take a chance giving the person a chance, because you really don’t know if he/she will live up to it.

Good to be back to my random ramblings!
