Trust : Troubling Thoughts
We live in a world where we are suspicious of others.
The statement "I trust no one", overused.
Yet, we live daily depending on others.
Trusting them to ensure we survive.
Trusting, that the farmers will produce our food.
Trusting, that the grocery stores will continue to open their doors.
Trusting, that your neighbours will be responsible enough to maintain a stable household as to not corrupt yours; either with rodents, pests or physical harm such as fire.
Trusting, that your security system at home will perform and prevent or alert the security company of any issues.
Trusting, that the banks will keep your life savings secure.
Trusting, that the hospital and staff will do their best to fix you.
Trusting, that the companies that provide you service in any way, will not fail you at the most crucial circumstances.
Trusting, that the driver in the car beside you won't endanger his life nor yours.
Trusting, that the driver of the car you just walked by won't mow you down as you cross the pedestrian crossing.
Trusting, that the engineer that designed any tool that you use on a daily basis will not malfunction when you need it the most; or be your fatal demise.
Trusting, that the meteorologist will keep you posted on the latest natural disasters.
Trusting, that the government will provide for the country and not initiate a potentially mass-genocide-resulting-war.
Trusting, that the teachers in school had taught and guided you; and the future generation along the correct path or direction.
Trusting, that your favourite author will continue writing your beloved stores.
Trusting, that your 'Friends', 'Acquaintances' or 'Significant Other' will be good to you and not intended to hurt you.
Why do we place such blind trust in others and things that we need to survive and live comfortably in this world; yet declare our hate for the world, people and their distrustful, manner?
Do we really trust 'no one', if we have to consequently trust others to exist in this world?
Therefore, are the users of the phrase, 'I trust no one', liars?
