Trust is a very serious term. It signifies much more than love.
It is reliance and faith and assurance for support. Trust is the foundation.
Once trust is lost, there is no support and foundation and a relationship falls flat.
Trust is linked with honesty. Honest people are trustworthy.
A Sanskrit shloka I had read in high school comes to my mind. One of the lines was-
"One who trusts the untrustworthy is the most foolish or low-grade person."
Personally, I have been a foolish person many times as I have trusted the untrustworthy and have been taken for a ride.
Trust can only be expected from trustworthy people.
But, who are trustworthy? How do we make the right selection?
Who are responsible and can be relied upon?
