How Much Do You Trust The Other?

     There are times that we say we trust someone with our life, but a voice in us ask us in a whisper, “Just how much do you trust them?”

     At times we may say that we trust someone soo much, but it is a lie and we know it. But why do we lie? Do we really want to show that we have someone to trust in and that we are not alone in this complicated and confussing world? Just what could we be able to get out from telling others that we have some trustworthy people beside us?

     A friend of mine once told me that I shouldn’t trust someone so much that I put my life at the front line. Even if it is a friend or foe, a product or a company, a stranger or the familiar, we might not know their true intention. We having to trust them too much and they knowing it, might just use those trust to their own advantages and having to hurt us at the end. Even with us not noticing it.

     Sometimes when we trust our friends too much that we do not believe what other people tell us about them. At times, that people who really care about us gave us advice and warnings from people like these, we ignore them, we tell ourself soo strongly that its a lie, that they are all just jealous we have people we could go to.

     All of us started to learn about trust ever since we were created on this planet. Since the day of our birth, we place trust in our parents, putting our life in their hands. To take care of us, to feed us when we are hungry, to keep us warm and dry after we came back from playing in the rain, to give us new cloths when we begin to grow out of them. To guide us when we are lost and in confuse state, to teach us and at times to scold and shout at us when we did mistakes.

     Teenagers often likes to take these trust from their parents for granted. Parents trust their children to be good, to behave, to not bring down the family name, to show the world that, this family are to be respected, and most of the time, parents trust their children to not do anything foolish that might hurt themself when the parents are not there to keep an eye on them. Children make promising to not lose their parents trust without even knowing what they are promising, what they are keeping at the edge of the cliff. Many times, teenagers makes mistakes of jumping around that cliff, not knowing that one day, that cliff will give way, and with the child, it will fall to the sea. For the parents and parents to be out there, give your child a second chance, even if they really break your heart and end up doing stupid things. Go back to guiding them to the right path, for that is what they have trusted you to do when they are lost in darkness.
