Unconditional Trust
To my wife
Why should you trust? When your partner already lied to you. When your partner already fooled you. Why should you trust again? For another chance? Trust, because he deserves another chance? Let us say, that truly everyone deserves another chance. So, you should trust again. But, what if he lied again? What if, he fooled you again? Does he still deserve more chance? Let us say, that he does not deserve another chance after the first one. So, you should not trust him again based on chance. Then, let's go back to the first question: why should you trust? Or, to put it in another way, should there be any reason to trust - trust again?
For me, to trust is a choice. Just as to love is a choice. And both of these choices are choices that do not require a reason to do so except the reason that you choose to do it. To trust someone, needs not any reason to do it. If you only trust someone because of a specific reason, - like because he did not ever lie to you or fool you - you do not truly trust him. Because, trust goes beyond reasons. Trust is not dependent on any reason. That should be how powerful trust is. That is how challenging trust is. So, let us not degrade the value of trust. Let us not consider trust as requiring a reason to do so. Trust without a reason. After all, it is your choice. No matter how many times someone fooled you or hurt you, your choice to trust is always there. You can choose to trust or not no matter the situation is.
