Trust is something that is very
difficult. Complicated, not to mention dangerous. We all do work to gain trust.
Workers tire themselves to show the boss how hardworking they are, that they
are not worthy of being sacked in this economic turmoil. Young men like me make
various efforts to gain their parents' trust that they are matured enough to
get married at this age. They try to act cool during their interactions with
the elders, despite the permanent childish nature that resides in the deepest
chamber of their hearts. I am but an exception to that. I just don't care.
You see my friend , trust is what
everyone seeks. Politicians seek for the people's trust through manifestos or
bribes in the form of instant cash, or perhaps political ads in the news
channel that can make you feel sick and produces the urge to vomit
continuously. The problem with trust-gaining-efforts are that they are terribly
fake. Hardcore politicians can look like the supreme angels before the
elections, but once they win your trust , it is highly probable that they will
steal millions from your money and cheat you people with every other way they
can. We only work hard to gain trust,
but we tend to abuse it, once achieved.
Forget these words and blunders,
you don't trust a thing that I say. I don't trust you either.
The word trust itself, when repeated
for the hundredth time, sounds seriously untrustworthy.
Trust between friends, is a dangerous
thing. You cannot really trust a friend, but at the same you cannot not trust
him. You have to trust him, because he is your friend, but you can't really
trust them because he does not have a real obligation upon your soul. Sorry.
Say that you would like to advise a
friend upon a very sensitive issue. You fear losing his trust should he resent
your behaviour, but at the same time, as a trustworthy friend, you have to do
the right thing! God, what a thing to do~
Trusting someone is difficult my
friend, but once you have my trust, I would give my life for you . Trust me.
We have some serious trusting problem.
For example we tend to trust every story that the media produces. We think that
these men cannot be lying; how could they? Telling lies is a very wrong thing
to do; the reporters in this newspaper cannot be lying, they are probably misinformed or something. Lies, my
friend, open your eyes, they are plain lies.
News like " old lady
found dead in the park" does not sell to the audience.
Add something like " poor old
lady raped and robbed, arms cut off , found dead and disfigured in the
park"
Blimey. That sells.
I found a man once lying half dead in
a deserted road. I found him FIRST. There was no one else but me. Nothing else,
but the man and his bike. I called the ambulance and the police, just to
discover that he died minutes later. News in the next morning says something
like this, " Man found dead after a hit-and-run accident, done by loan
sharks" . Wut?
There were nothing there to suggest a presence of
another vehicle. It was clear that he fell off his bike, and that's that.The
newspaper put shame to the deceased by saying he was indebted with loan sharks,
and add that to the pain of his family.
Soon people were talking, and rumours spread in our closely-knit community.
What a shame.
Trust me my friend, you don't have to
trust everything they say.
