I've been thinking a lot about how hard it can be to trust. Trusting another person, a situation, an opportunity, a new romantic partner, a friend. You get the idea. I've felt let down, disappointed, and devastated many times when someone or something I'd decided to believe turned out to be full of crap. So what are we supposed to do about that? How do we carry on having faith in others when it's so common to get burnt by someone you trust?
On this week's solo episode, I share a few recent rough personal experiences of having my trust betrayed or broken, how I moved through it, and what I learned from it. I've come to decide that despite the fact that it's nearly impossible to have confidence that all people will be honest and truthful with you, it's still worth trusting. The cost of losing faith that others can be trustworthy results in greater expansion of fear, lying, and separation. That's not what I wish to contribute to, so I've decided to air on the side of trusting, even if I get burned.
