Trust

Trust is not a privilege not a right, it may seem like an easy thing to earn but in reality it can take years to earn trust for a lot of people. It took my brother and I years to trust each other, and we lived in the same house. This does not mean we did not care for each other it just meant we had to earn each others trust in order for us to become close.

In order for anyone to earn trust you have to be loyal, kind, stable, patient, compassionate and full of love. These are the things that make you trustworthy, without all of them you will not be able to earn trust. Trust is the reason soldiers survive in war, if each soldier did not trust one another they would not be able to fight along each other's side.

Trust is a tool for survival and a tool for life, it is what unites mankind and what separates us from those who would bring us down. However don't be too hard on those who are earning your trust because the way you treat them may come back to hurt you. Remember you have to be compassionate as well as kind to everyone. Just because you want them to earn your trust doesn't mean you don't have to do the same. Trust is equal responsibility between everyone involved.

During the entire process of developing Trust remember another important thing, compassion; There will come a time when your close one will mess up they will betray your trust in some form or fashion. You need to have compassion towards them. That means listen to them and have forgiveness towards them before you decide to cut them out of your life. Otherwise you will always have regret and hate surrounding you and it will harden your heart towards everyone you meet.

A strong Friendship/Relationship is built on Trust and trust makes us stronger.
