It is good to trust yourself and trust your loved ones and people you care about but you also need to be careful before you trust anyone because having trusts in the wrong people can cause serious chaos for you especially towards your relationship with such people.
Trusting someone too much might make you to be ignorant of their flaws and you won't be able to help them get solutions to problems that could ruin them.
I was having a conversation with an old friend and he was telling me how he trusts his younger sister so much and how he is sure that she is living a decent life, this is coming after a mutual friend of ours was telling him that he should advice his sister to stop living some kind of bad lifestyle that is going to keep ruining her life..it turns out that the lady in question is into severe drug abuse and she is highly into prostitution but her own brother who happened to be our own friend is not even aware of the lifestyle that she is living and he trusts her so much till the extent that he did not believe anyone who tells him anything negative about the lifestyle of his sister..
He was so confident that his sister was very decent and was the opposite of what people were accusing her of..
The young man had the opportunity to scold his sister right now and save her from the current bad lifestyle she is living which can ruin her life if care is not taken but the problem is he trusts her alot and does not even believe that she is living a secret lifestyle that he is not aware of , so trusting her so much is now a thing of disadvantage because now he will not even be able to stop her drug abuse problems because he trusts her alot and does not even believe she is into drugs.
Though I am hopeful that he will finally listen and do his investigations and confirm if what they are saying about his sister is true or not , I hope he does that before it becomes too late.
I know some of us are also guilty of our relationships with others in terms of trust ,there are some certain people we trust so much till the extent that we tend to forget that they have their own flaws and that they cannot always be perfect, because of the very big trust we have in them we are not willing to even be able to help them correct their flaws because we are too busy trusting them and seeing them as a perfect individual.
It is good to trust people around us because at least it will make it possible for us to build a better relationship with them but we should also learn not to trust them too much because as humans it is normal for them to be unperfect so we should not expect perfection from them, we should be aware that they will have their own flaws too.
So trusting others is good but not putting too much trust on them is better , that will make it easier for you to help them manage their flaws and make them become a better person.
