Hello cute family. I hope you all are doing well in your daily life. I'm also. It is a great honour to be with you all amazing writers. You people write on different topics and help us a lot. I admire it. Well, I'm trying my best to provide something new. But today, this is not about something new. It’s about a old issue which is rising day by day. The lack of trust. Yes, my today’s topic is based on trust. It’s in an alarming stage. How far we have advanced in the world but the trust issues are still there. The lack of confidence over people is ruining a peaceful life. Whom to blame?

Topic: Trust issues

We are now in supersonic mode. Everything around in this world is changing and it’s happening faster. Day by day we are upgrading our life styles. This is fine but the fact is we are dwelling in fear too. No, not about apocalypse or zombie attack. We are in fear about trustable persons around. Whom to trust and how to depend on them? Each day the news portals, newspapers or journals are showing us the ugly face of this so called highly educated society. People are not safe and lack of commitment is the reason. They are fearing their own shadows now.

For example, an old couple lost their all savings from their house when their own nephew stole them. The person whom they believed, became the reason of their sadness. I have seen them crying on the floor madly because they put that savings for their upcoming odd days. Their only daughter who is married now is living foreign country with her husband. The nephew of the old uncle stayed with them as he was looking for a job for two months. Once he found the stored money, he didn’t hesitate to destroy their hopes. In this case, the old man is betrayed by his own blood. Where is the trust?

We are not safe in any place. In roads, food shops, offices, we are not feeling safe. If you ask me, I would say that I don’t trust anyone. Let me explain this. If you are travelling and you have a companion with you, the mind state that we are safe. That's ok but the problem starts when the passenger with us, inject some medicine sedate us and takes away our things, that's a worrying issue. Tell me, aren’t we witnessing such things nowadays? You feel safe when you journey with someone else whom you don't know? Even you have risk while sitting beside the window seat. Someone may snatch away your phone or jewellery from you within a second. You don’t feel safe.

In office, yes, I'm telling that too. Your opportunity may be snatched by your office colleague. Come on, I'm pretty sure many of you have faced it. They are jealous of your rise in office. Probably they often look for an opportunity to put you down. But you are totally unaware of it. Maybe you have explained some ideas about improvement of any project. They shamelessly use that ideas on their names and proclaim them as their own. Just imagine the situation. I had this one recently in my new job. Someone used my ideas and claimed as their own. I just kept my anger down. I trusted them and answered them but they outplayed me from the situation. Now, I blame myself to trust them. The lesson is learnt. The trust is broken.

Now we all know how the world is full with people like that. Every steps count now. We need to ensure our privacy is safe with us. We need to console ourselves that we are dealing a good life. Here we fail. Why, just why? We are breaking others trust and others are doing the same. The circle of life is giving us back what we are passing others. Trust is the moral key for our happy society where we may live in peace. Are we good enough to bring that back or grow the trustworthy relationship? It is necessary because now my friend, I doubt my own shadow.

Trust is built throughout life and collapses in a second. Unfortunately, I no longer trust everyone so easily, but it is a defense mechanism by which we protect ourselves from disappointment.

You wrote a very valuable word with faith. Faith is the foundation of any relationship. If one is deceived into believing, then it is not easy to trust another.

Dear Lucifer, I completely agree with what you said. Every day in the news and among those around us, we see so much news of people being deceived and betrayed by those around them, that we finally come to the conclusion that the wisest thing to do is not to trust anyone...

People are just wicked, the old uncle accommodated him so that he can get Job and live a comfortable life, they helped him, but he ended up putting them in sorrow by stealing their hard-earned money. I don't think we still have to trust people.

Trust is a five lettered word, but it's really deep and hard to put it all in someone, even ones family can't even be trusted. As I am presently, I literally don't trust anyone, but my family. In this case of the story you wrote. It was their own family/blood that betrayed them. It is well. I'm just clueless, trust is really deeper than it's pronounced.

It's difficult to invest trust to anyone,because even your closest can betray you afterwards.

Trusted people are rare,we may make a lot of friends in social media but with a person we can trust ,I always had a doubt.

It's hard to teust someone but it's even harder to gain the trust of others. So we should always value the trust they've given to us because one wrong move, it will never be the same again.

The iasue of trust has caused a lot of issues this day, even though the relationship between myself and my aunt is very strong, he still doubt my words when I told her that I don't smoke.

The way that people are greedy to have things these days makes it difficult to trust.
