I heard someone the other day talk about how in our society today it’s almost necessary to build up walls to protect yourself from all of the liars and scams that come around today. However, if we spend so much time trying to protect ourselves by blocking things from coming in, how will we ever take the risk that is necessary for trust? If we don’t take the risks for trust, how can we ever expect to develop any kind of real relationship?
People are so scared of being hurt that they don’t want to risk the amazing feeling of trust. Sometimes it seems like the fear of the little bit of pain that you could experience really battles for control over the love and trust that you could have with a person. If you never open yourself and take that risk than trust will never be available to you….that has to be the loneliest thing in the world for someone…not to have anyone to trust.
I hope that most people can allow themselves for at least that one right person to open up to the experience of love and trust. It would just make me sad to think of someone going their whole life without feeling those things.
