Do you give your trust easily?

Because I don't. I learned my lesson the hard way years ago when I did that. So, now that I'm more mature, I know better.
If I do give my trust, it has to be earned. And if I do decide to give that trust, I give it only be degrees. And there are times that I still have apprehensions if I've made the right choice by giving my whole trust.
We now live in a world where we just have to be always on guard, body and soul. Because when the trust we gave gets compromised, sometimes it's hard to believe that there are some things still left in this world that are true and honest.

Usually I am a person who easily believes someone. I think that most of the people are nice ones. There is no reason for me not give my trust. But one time when I was at a railway station, I met a man dressed in a soldier's uniform. He asked me to lend him some money to go back home and he asked me to exchange with each other our contact method. I did and lent him some as required. Later he seemed to have forgot about mailing back the money to me. But anyway it was not much. I just forgot about it. Though this matter has happened to me, still I have an easy trust to people around me. I am not clear about why I am still like this. Maybe it is because I still think that most people are friendly. That's the point, I think.

You just have a lot of faith in other people, william. That's why you are the way you are. But sometimes it helps to be a little cautious when you need to trust someone. The world we live in are just full of people who likes to take advantage of others.
I just hope that the man you helped realize what good you have done for him. But then, keep on doing what you like. Helping others. But just make sure that you won't get hurt by them.

Yes, being a little cautious is needed especially when you need to put a lot of trust in them. There's nothing worse than being betrayed by people you thought are trust-worthy.
