Trust
Trust is quite a heavy word. It can sometimes take years to win somebody’s trust and sometimes it can take seconds. You may not trust the stranger who sits next to you in a bus ride but you will trust a stranger’s review of a hotel room on a travel website. Funny isn’t it?
We, me & my wife, trust people fairly easily. We generally believe that people are good and you should treat people well. We usually live by this rule in our daily lives.
But a few days back, this belief was in for a shock. The trust on our maid was shattered by the maid herself and we are finding ourselves in a strange situation. We are heartbroken and sympathetic at the same time. One emotion over rides the other and its been quite a churn trying to think rationally.
We are hoping that this incident doesn’t change our belief about the goodness in individuals but it will take us a while to get this off our backs. It does feel unfortunate but c’est la vie.
