The word trust to me is golden and this is because it's the nucleus of every relationship. Without trust in a relationship, the relationship would not be able to stand.
The most funny thing is that, without trust, love in a relationship would be rendered useless. It's the trust in a relationship of friendship that makes it, the relationship work, love alone cannot make a relationship work.
Having said this, the issue of trust is one thing that's affecting most of the friendships or relationship we have these days, people can no longer be trusted and if you try to give them chance after they've broken the trust you have reposed in them, they will still come back for you and this time around, hurt you the more which means you trust them at your risk.
Some time ago, there's this friend of mine who I trusted so much and because of this trust, I invited him to come and join me in my newly set up business as he has nothing to do, but he later betrayed me by hijacking both my customers and the business from me.
Although, people would ask me how this was made possible? Well, such a thing would have been possible where trust exists and for some one like me who had no trust, there's no way such would not have happened.
However, when everything he had hijacked from me collapsed, this same guy came back to me begging for forgiveness and at first, I was like I would not forgive, but I later did and because I always trust people, I gave him the second chance not knowing this guy would still hurt me the second time.
It's after this second time that he had hurt me that I now realized that people's behaviour is like smoke which would always come out no matter how much they tried to cover it by themselves or others, it will surely manifest.
So, since then, I have always put people in their rightful position and I have also reduced my trust in humans as we humans cannot be trusted 100 percent including me.
In conclusion, one thing I still do is to make friends and build, but building trust is no longer my thing as of before as I have been disappointed on many occasions and this has really prompted me to only maintain a normal relationship with people and not a deep one.

Thanks for reading.
The picture is mine
I understand you, trust is very important and I feel sorry for your friend who betrayed you. I hope you can find some very good friendships.
I hope so boss. Thanks for stopping by.
One thing I realised later in life is that, not everyone is capable of changing. Letting people go sometime might be the best thing to do to ourselves to prevent us from getting hurt the second time.
