WHAT IS TRUST?

What do you think trust is reflecting to what we see in our daily lives? Lets find out.

Trust is an emotional brain state, not just an expectation of behavior! By definition, it is defined
as having confidence, Faith or Hope in something or someone.
Trust is the central part of all human relationships, including Romantic partnership, Family life,
Business operations, Politics and Medical operations.Imagine being in a critical condition (Illness), you will be taken to a clinic or hospital. Arriving at
the hospital, you will meet with a Doctor or Nurse whom you have never seen before. They will
give you medication that you don’t know or have ever seen before and have no idea what those
things you are being given will do to you, it might kill you or cure you. But you never put that in
mind once you step foot into the hospital doors, don’t you? That’s because you trust the Doctor!
You trust the Doctor and everybody working there, except the genitor, and everything they give
you, you take it. If you never trusted them, you wouldn’t have gone there in the first place.
Imagine moving in a bus, being driven by a driver whom you know absolutely nothing about.
The driver can have Family issues, may have lost a million Dollar opportunity, or may have lost
someone very special to him and may think of committing suicide and the easy and quickest way
for a driver is just by smashing the Vehicle anywhere he may feel like. That seems crazy to
imagine but it is in fact possible. The trust you have for the driver- that he will take you safely
from where you are and where you need to be is enough to keep you safe, and not having any
sort of the mentioned negative thoughts.
In your neighborhood at home, you don’t ever get thoughts of getting robbed or attacked by your
neighbors don’t you? As much as your neighbors trust you and know that you can never think of
doing that, it is the same trust that you have as well, and is the thing that keeps a community alive
and safe, no doubt!
Despite all this, trust is based primarily on four major conditions; 1. Consistency 2. Compassion 3. Communication 4. Competency.
Unless the above mentioned conditions are obeyed, there is no trust.
In conclusion, one may quote, “Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to
repair”.
