Do you really trust anyone? - Page 2

Interestingly, that is what most people will expect, but the world has shown that is the not the case.

From the grandson who hurts his grandmother to steal her money.
Parents stealing kids trust fund for their own addictions.
Sibling fighting each other for control over money
etc...etc....etc...

So many cases, so even though it seems like the natural answer, it might not be the natural answer.

How do you do that?

Trust them with my wealth and see if they abuse it and then try to get back the money?

It's better to have some degree of skepticism, in my humble opinion.

Gotta balance things out, right?

If the above doesn't strike your fancy, you could go with the principle of equal exchange and see how things go from there (verify the exchange first, of course).

Great that he trusts you.
Ans: we both trust each other & not only 1 sided.

What if your ATM has 500,000 dollars and his has only 5,000 ? So does knowing each others passwords make you comfortable ?
Ans: Well if this apply to my case, its d other way round lolz

Whats makes you so sure he won't betray your trust? tried and tested before? or just pure blind fate?
Ans: yes proven. He is a very careful person so can see things further than i do. If there is no trust between couple, no point being together right. I dun really trust any of my close frds anymore except my other half.

After so many incidents happened to me with my frds, secrets are not meant to be shared even to your very close frds becos u never know who is ur frd or foe.

I used to have best friends b4. Not anymore now. Just normal friend. Just live the way that I like even though I have to do it alone. For example, single traveler.

I prefer to keep my mouth shut about my personal problem in front of friends. What I do realize now is once they are married and starting a family they are going to abandon and ignore you.

Perhaps some food for thought;

Liars think everyone's a liar.

Cheaters tend to think everyone else cheats too.

You reckon?

I disagree.

Liars think they can lie to anyone and not get caught . The reason they can lie everyone is because most people in general don't lie unless in certain circumstances.

Cheaters cheat because they know most people are trusting of people that's why they can get away with it. If everyone cheats, it won't be so easy for them to cheat in the 1st place. =)

Your premise is wrong you reckon? heh.
