A thing called trust

There are lot of big words out there when you look at your calendar, make a decision, live life...Responsibility, commitment, goals, priority, deadlines, vacations(:)),deliverables, usp, family, friends.

Wait. Am I missing out on something? trust? Is it not important too? To have and hope it is had? How would you feel if your boss says,"ah! come on. You can't do it". Just means he can't trust it with you. How about, your friend says,"I won't tell you till last, you big mouth!".

It is always shouted out from the roof tops when somebody does not trust you. Cha!! "How could somebody think of me like that?". But have we ever stopped to think whether we have had trust in everyone we knew. Some people are naturally untrustworthy. Do not bring them into the equation. But somebody we love, some day, some situation? There must have been at least one time.

I never trusted mom on my personal matters. I used to tell Tom, Dick and Harry when I realized I was missing out on the one person who would have made all the difference. I never trust God. I love Him. I want Him with all my heart. But when there is a situation and I need Him to bail me out, I first make fall back plans.

Ok! Even if we fall from the mountain, this rope shall save me. Not God? Rope? A small thing shall save your life? Trust would.

What prompts us to undergo operations by surgeons and doctors whom we have spoken for a few minutes about a remote muscle which we did not know existed till then? Trust.Probably in some situations, hopelessness. But in most trust.

It is such a big word. It is so huge. It is in reality the only word that matters. Ever. Trust. In a relation. In a friendship. In an hushed up affair. In a cul de sac situation. In life or death points.

When the Lord said,"Renounce all Dharmas, seek me alone as refuge.". Still the only thing He did not ask you to give up was Trust.

The very first thing that man gave up was trust. Trusting his fellow beings. We always think of our problems and reactions to actions that we fail to take into account that another person might react differently. I think this is what plunges into an unhealthy relation. Anytime.

Once when I had a problem, (I had lost my watch), I did not tell my mom for like a week. I told everyone else and was searching even gutters for it. Then when I finally had the courage to confess to ma, she brought the watch and said,"you had dropped it on the couch". I could only mutter thanks and run away.

Though it might seem to be a too small a word for too big an issue: if only the Austrians had believed that the youth who murdered their crown prince in Sarajevo was really mad, the Second world war would not have begun.

Placing trust in a chicaneer can very well have your amicable dispositions sucked down into a vortex for the rest of your blighted life. I am sorry. The only thing I can offer you is,"Trust. Better luck next time."

After all we are humans. Not goats that believe the people who are fattening us up are doing so for the good of the goat community or because they are fans of our goaties.
Use your senses to believe in good and the positive that is still left in the humanity at large. Believe me. There are some excellent people out there. Still.

Oh heck! Why did I start on this for? I have a couple of friends who as much as I shout from even Tibet(the roof of the world) can never understand I love them a lot. They will never trust me with anything fearing it would hurt me or I would be angry.

Also, remember if you do something that deserves anger, it is probably better to get it straight away, rather than a frozen anger microwaved over and over again!!!

If you think your friend would hate you for having a film with a few of your other friends, or a quiet smoke with the guys(not marijuana please). STOP.

Think it over. Act.

Trust.
