Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. For any relationship or friendship to thrive, trust must be in existence; parties involved must have a certain percentage of trust for each other, or else everything comes crashing down. Without trust, the friendship or relationship will not move forward; instead, even things that are not supposed to cause problems will end up causing problems and taking away your peace and causing you to even lose your sanity. Any friendship or relationship without trust is a chaotic one and not something anyone should be involved in because of the stress that comes with it.
Trust for me is more of a one-time thing, which makes treasuring it and doing everything to make sure you don't break it very important. Trust once broken is very difficult to rebuild, and even if you manage to, it will never be like it used to be. A broken trust can be compared to a broken glass or a broken mirror; no matter how you try to fix it after it is broken, it can never go back to what it used to look like before it was broken. We all as humans have had to deal with people that broke our trust in them and left us hurting; some were remorseful for doing so, while some were not.
I have had countless experiences with trust being broken, and sometimes I advise that once you break the trust a person has in you, you should leave the friendship or relationship because sometimes it is better that way, as some people, once you break the trust that exists between you, change, and even if you manage to fix it, they can never give you a hundred percent anymore. You don't get the same person twice; once trust is broken, it takes a lot to get at least 40% of the person you used to know.
One time I was in school and asked a friend to help me sell some of my valuables back home and send me the money since I was desperately in need of money then. I trusted him to deliver, and I even told him to take a percentage from every sale, but he sold it and took everything for himself, leaving me stranded in school, despite how I was calling to ask if he had made the sale, but he kept saying nobody was buying the stuff. I later found a way to sort the bill I needed the money for, and I got home and found out what happened. I confronted him, and he apologized, and I am not one who likes chaos, so I let it all slide.
We are still close and talk from time to time, but I can never trust him with anything valuable again or want anything related to finances to join us again; if he has done it before, he will definitely do it again.
You're right, trust is important for any relationship thrive and to actually stand. What's any relationship without trust?
Your friend saw a little opportunity to gain for himself and he proved that he cannot be trusted. And yeah, if he did it before, he can do it again
I enjoyed reading your perspective on trust. Thanks for sharing
You're right trust is very important either in relationships or friendships. That your friend has proven that he can't be trusted again. You're right, for him to be able to do it for you in the first place, he can do it again.
