A lot of our life gets damaged when we trust the person blindly and don't verify what they do to us in their life. We trust them as a family, we trust them as a friend, maybe even trust them as a govt, teacher, authority etc. And more we bring trust into things we don't know we end up being betrayed.
When you are dealing with problem of mind and matters, then it's always good to question and hold your opinion. This is where limiting your trust and verifying your information comes into the play. Like you have to keep questioning things and not be vocal about it as it could be seen as paranoia.
There are healthy ways to trust and healthy ways to verify. If you don't do this in a boundary then you would end up appearing paranoid. So today for this post I wish to outline some of the ways to trust and verify what you choose to believe in.
- If someone tells you xyz country is going to invade us and so we have to hate them. Instead of getting into the toxic hatred, just think from the perspective of "there are people more qualified to deal with this than me".
- If someone tells you if you pay taxes you are being used, then replace this with the thought of "Land, death, utility, bills and govt local features are paid through taxes". Replace the toxicity with reason.
- If someone tells you if you don't worship my god then you don't deserve to live. In such case instead of arguing just leave the place and if possible notify the govt authority on such threats.
- If someone tells you if you invest into xyz and money gets doubled, always get the references and also proof which is verified by the govt sources.
- If someone tells you doing this zyxx course would get you job and the placement in the city outside nation, always check those sources.
- If anyone tells you life is rosy outside your nation, you just pay the funds and leave this nation and your life would be good. Double check the sources again from that point onwards.
When it comes to your life, money and the people around you. Making choices that leads to the blind belief only makes your judgement in near future is even more harder to trust on. And so you have to verify what you think, do and act on. Which is possible when you ask more questions and do more actions on your thought process.
A lot of people blindly believe their family, friends and govt. And they tend to also pay the price eventually. Which kind of shows you how the blind trust in things can make things for your everyday life even more harder and trust just gets into the difficult position most of the time.
People who verify and move ahead tend to win this race. And those who don't choose to verify end up being the slaves of the information they believe in. So be healthy with the choices you make and the information that you believe in.
