I may step on a few toes, but that is life, get used to it. I wonder how many of you really know what the word trust means?? I can promise you, this is not a swear word. Sometimes i wish it were. Now, if you break someone's trust, do you expect them to forgive and forget? Some do, but i don't, EVER. So, tell me what you understand of that word that everybody so convienantly forget about??

It's hard honestly... Sometimes I do not know where I did wrong and I broke somebody's trust! Or unless she would tell where... conveniently forget? Trust is treasured. But nobody is perfect...

Any broken trust can be fixed... yes it's hard... but someone must look at the reasons... generalizing it then can make it harder...

I believe trust is not an instant feeling and it has to be earned..I seldom trust someone and even anybody when I say I trust you that meaning it all by U..If you are going to break my trust I will never forget but I can forgive..Trust is a bond between believe, assurance,confidence within that person to pacify and conciliate..
That word trust is what you did you others that they think you are worthy to be "TRUSTED".. I can say saph,I TRUST YOU..because you're simply of what you think you are...and for me to think who you are..
Happy myLotting!

Different people has different initiative and perceptions of the word trust..You trust them because you think they are worth to be, forgiving is just always at hand saph, you know how to forgive someone then move to another one,someone broke their promised to you its just a proven that you trust the wrong person. A trust is not always a word imply to anybody you think they should..You have to learned to trust someone whose worthy to be trusted.

Hello Saphrina!
I think that nothing could be bad than breaking someone's trust.
Trust is a belief which you put on others and you expect that
the other person will keep it intact and will not cheat you. However,
when s/he does you feel let down. I do not like to betraying
anybody's trust. Those who put on their trust on me, I fully honour
them, under every circumstances.

To me trust is built up by how well we know each other. to trust some one once is not hard, and to give others trust once is also not hard. but how to prevent any distractions during the course and establish a long-term trust is much hard than a swear word.it requires strong observing of ourselves constantly.when there comes the distraction, some trust may hold on to the ground, some may not.if the trust values great to me, i hope there'll be a chance to fix it up. but sometimes, even if there's brokage to the trust, we need to give it more chances, that's faith.

Hi saphrina, I am a grown up. :) So I know that forgive and forget stuff is for books and movies. Yes, over a period of time, the intensity of pain does disappear, provided you are away from the scene completely. Otherwise, it may increase in its venomous content. :) What is trust as far as I understand is when I care for somebody, I would do nothing that would or could hurt the person.

What has mylot got to do with it? You can avoid the person out here! That is far more easy than in real life. But if it is likely to keep you in that phase, then may be, it is better for a while. Looks like you have something that hurts there. Take care my friend. Remember we are all there for you.

Hi Saphrina!
Trust is something precious and fragile that you should handle with care. When trust is broken juts like the broken pieces of glass you may be able to put the pieces back together but the traces will remain. The glass will no longer be as smooth as it used to be.
I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. I can always forgive the person who betrayed me but I cannot assure that he/ she can have my trust back 100%.

I believe there is. If we really love the person we can take a risk and give that person a second chance. I never thought I would be ever to do so. I used to think that I can never ever give anyone a second chance once that person has lost my trust. However, fate tested. My husband at one point betrayed me by having an affair with someone else. I knew the person because she was our officemate. She was one of our staffs and I'm a Supervisor.
I was so hurt. I was pregnant during that time. The pain was too much for me to bear that each time I see him I'm reminded of how the person I have trusted and loved so much has caused me so much pain. He asked for a second chance. I took the risk. It was hard at first. There were times that when I'm reminded of what he did I would suddenly feel hatred towards him. I would cry at night while he is beside me and I knew he understands that I was is too much pain. He would hug me as I cry. I would sometimes pick a fight and provoke him.
However, after almost a month everything went fine. One reason also is because he really tried hard to gain my trust again. I can't say that he gained my trust back 100%. However, it no longer causes me pain whenever I am reminded of what has happened. We're both happy right now with a 5 month old son and another baby coming in 5 months time. :)

trust in my opinion means being honest and representing yourself correctly. I think a breach of trust is a very hard thing to fix. I wouldnt say I never forgive, but it does take a while to get that trust back. Other peoples trust in me means a lot and I do not like to go against that.

Trust is not gain but it is to be earned. When I say I trust a person, then he/she could be someone who is close to me. But once my trust on someone will be broken then it is very impossible to regain it. I believe that when trust is not anymore present in a relationship then I can say that it's not an intimate one it could be just civil or merely a casual relationship.

Trust tells how close we are to the person. We can trust someone unless we like them and we love them. We cant trust a stranger. Its depends on the person, everyone does mistakes, it depends on those mistakes are done knowingly or in ignorance. I will think upon forgive or not first, then forget about it totally.

its difficult to know who to trust and who not to, unless you have trusted and find your trust betrayed.

Same here. If I lose that trust It is hard for me to give it back. I haven't given to anyone who betrayed my trust. And I don't think, I will be able to that really soon. I think because of I got sick and tired of people that I loved lying to me. ANd this happened. But I am trying to learn to trust again. I have to.
