Trust a five letter word.
A word with so much impact on our lives daily, That we actually believe it may exist. Trust is an emotion. As humans we all know are emotions can run away with us. Sure! The technical definition for the word "Trust" includes words like faith, hope, to place in care of someone. Words like honesty and reliability are amongst this definition too.

We must ask ourselves,
How we feel about trust? Are you the type that says, "I don't trust anyone?" If so I don't mean to crush your thoughts, But everyone feels trust towards someone. Maybe themselves, a family member, a friend, or just maybe a faith. What if your the type that goes around giving everyone the benefit of the doubt? If so my heart personally goes out to you. This of course is just an opinion I carry myself. I do believe the people who trust in others right from the start must experience great pain and let down in their own lives. To start off immediately trusting in someone is just like running at rapid speed towards a 12ft deep pool. Having to never learned how to swim. You jump gleefully and splash! Now one of two things can happen you will either sink or swim. Meaning you trust yourself enough to take that leap, but the unknown is whether or not you trust the water enough to carry you. So if you just go in meeting new people and you trust them automatically , I suggest you take a life jacket with you.
Next we have the people
that I like to call "The Hmmm people" I as an individual find myself caught in this category. This Hmmm people go round a bit more skeptical then most. They look at a situation and say "Hmmm". With so much in the world of change and full speed dishonesty and lack of loyalty , One can only assume you look at whatever situation with a double take and say "Hmmm" to oneself. Yes you still have trust in something here. Its called yourself. At the same time your not just jumping into a pool of water unknowing the final outcome.
There are many more
types of people in the world. These are just a few main topics and samples of those many types. Not everything is black and white. There is always more than two sides to a story. As long as I'm on my cliche run here. I would also like to mention, Don't burn your bridges either.
So far we have talked
about how we can trust or not trust someone or something. Shouldn't we also asked a very important question amongst ourselves? Questions like are we trust worthy? Can we fill the needs of others expectations? What type of person
