The Less You Trust, the Less You're Trusted

Isn't trust such a fickle thing? One irrevocable act can destroy all the trust you built with someone in one swell swoop. Not even love can die so quickly, love has to be beaten over and over agian. Love has to be hung, shot, and burned to ash. Even in that state, the smallest breathe of air can ignite the ember that once was or that still is. And yet again love can breathe, grow and engulf the heart of the one that loves. Love is a virus, trust is an infection.

True, people can do things that make you not trust them which is understandable. One would be a fool to see someone's actions and not judge them based off of them. Or to see someone's past actions and not deal with them accordingly. No one wants to be betrayed, lied to, or even worse made a fool of. Trust is all about the intimacy and the willingness to commit to someone based on how you feel about them. Trust has clauses and agreements. Trust is conditional.

However, the more you trust someone the more they trust you. The less you trust them the less they will trust you. People base their faith in the person they trust, based on that person's perceived faith in them. It's a reciprocal act.
