People say that trust is the most expensive thing in the world. Well, I say trust is simply priceless.
No matter the amount of money you have, you can't use it to buy, or teach trust to a grown ass human being. Nor can you use that money to turn some scummy dishonest person into a trustworthy saint one day. You may give your best, try really hard and keep trying for a long period of time. Yet, sometimes or most of the time, it might be that a fraction of those flawed and scummy traits may still remain hidden somewhere inside. Ready to pounce, when given the chance once more. End of the day, it's all up to that one person, on whom you've bet all your trust.
When you reach a certain point in life, there's just no going back, whether it be good or bad. A part of it all remains within us forever.
So, the chances are, if they didn't have it in them yesterday, then whether it be tomorrow or the day after, they probably will never succeed in achieving that certain trait.
UNLESS, they accept their wrongdoings, coming to a realization, to how toxic and cheap their past actions were and then finally working on towards becoming a better human being. Changing for the better, working towards achieving better behavior and choosing to make the right choices in life, from here onwards.
It's quite to tough to find trustworthy people in the current world we're living in. You can't even imagine how far people will go just to gain your trust, and then, when given the chance, they will screw you over egregiously.
I say it's all in the blood, sometimes it surely is. Yet, most of the times it's all about how you've been taught in life and by whom.
One has to be badly sculpted by life to go to such extents, choosing to harm another for their own well being. It all starts at an young age, what you see and what you're taught during those young and innocent years will be the foundation towards the future. It will give you the power to choose between right and wrong, decency and lunacy.
If you're taught well at an early age, then chances are that you won't cheap out easily and stay true to what's right. No matter how tempting and selfishly beneficial something be for you. As a human being, you will choose not to go ahead with it simply because it's wrong.
You choosing to protect and nurture the trust that someone chose to invest in you is truly the right choice, the only choice. You can't put a price on that feeling, when someone has total faith in you.
When someone deicides to trust you with something valuable of theirs, a secret maybe, a task, money, whatever it may be, just know that you mean something to them. You probably mean more to them than the secrets they've shared, the tasks they've bet on you to accomplish or the money they've passed over from their hands to yours.
Remember, trust is built, and it should always be that way. Before you put your trust in someone, there should be a fairly lengthy test. A process that a certain someone should have to go through, and when they pass this customized test and process, you then put a fraction of your trust in their hands.
Never rely on words, especially the sweet ones. Invest your trust in effort, integrity, credibility. Don't be careless when investing your trust, never be in a hurry.
Even when it comes to handling someone else's trust that they've decided to invest in you, remember that they have faith in you, to do something good. Know that you are someone who truly means something to them. Because they have quite confidently decided to safekeep, one of their most priceless possessions in your hands...
So, you better stay true to them, yourself and towards doing what's right
