Trust... I was asked by a person who is a close friend this weekend if I trusted her. My response, "For the most part." My response was not the one expected , yes, and my explanation was I don't really truly trust anyone and have always mostly relied on myself. We talked about it briefly, however it still lingered in my head until today. Trust. Webster has several definitions for trust:
"assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something ."
"dependence on something future or contingent."
"a property interest held by one person for the benefit of another."
"a charge or duty imposed in faith or confidence or as a condition of some relationship."
From this I draw that my response was most appropriate. I am a self-sufficient person who does not rely on someone or something for the future. I don't place my burdens or conflict of interests or troubles upon others unless deemed necessary and as a last resort. From time to time there is that need to share and place your confidence in others. I know one of those people, if not the only person will be my closest friend or best friend. I am truly grateful that when the need arises I have someone to share that with.
