Difference between trust and belief.

A person started to walk on a rope tied between two tall towers. He was walking slowly, balancing a long stick in his hands. He had his son sitting on his shoulders. Everyone on the ground were watching him in bated breath and were very tense. When he slowly reached the second tower, everyone clapped, whistled and welcomed him. They shook hands and took selfies. He asked the crowd 'do you all think I can walk back on the same rope now from this side to that side?" Crowd shouted in one voice "yes, yes, you can..." Do you trust me, he asked? They said yes, yes, we are ready to bet on you. He said okay, can anyone of you give your child to sit on my shoulder; I will take the child to the other side safely.... There was stunned silence. Everyone became quiet. Belief is different. Trust is different. For 'Trust' you need to surrender totally. This is what we lack towards God in today's world. We belief in Almighty. But do we trust Him? Hope you like the story. good night my dear MyLotters.

I don't really do either. I don't truely believe that a higher being exists,nor would I trust one, if there really was one.

Belief and trust of a higher being is our opinion. What about the story? Do you find it valuable?
