Trust
Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2012 12:14 am
It sucks that the human species has evolved into a group of individuals who can't trust one another. I say this at least in the westernized individualistic societies. If you knew me in person, you'd know that I'm far from a depressed individual (well it's actually not so clear but I digress...) but today, after this joint, I sit here feeling as though there is not a single person on this planet I can truly trust. I've had good friends, great friends, and friends that would make it seem as though the word itself is an oxymoron... people who have total lack of respect when it comes to friendship etiquette. But out of all those, I can count maybe only one person who I could actually trust to the core of his being. Even then though, it may only have been a matter of time before bridges were burned should we have had a prolonged life long friendship.
Before this post starts to sound like a paranoid rant, how do you guys feel about the topic? Do you think people out there, even your friends can be fully trusted? There was no specific incident that led me to think about this but in reality we all want different things and we'll usually do whatever we can to attain those things, especially as we get older... it leads me to believe that manipulation, sneakiness, phoniness and an all around lack of trustworthiness are all negative traits which are programmed into us in order to get what we want..... But then again..... Maybe I've just been surrounded by the wrong type of people........
