When you learn to trust, I believe you will begin to trust EVERYONE. Now most of us choose who we trust, which is wise in a way, especially when you are talking about actually entrusting yourself to people. But I believe you can also learn to trust the people who have hurt you continually and will continue to do so. Trusting those who have hurt you looks like this: forgiving them and giving them over to their own devices.

When you learn to trust, it means you realize those people who have hurt you really do not have any control over you and you act like it. You forgive them and you may even feel compassion for them. That is trust. You are not scared of them. And you also trust them enough to allow them to continue to make the decisions they make, hoping they will dig their own grave and somehow come to their senses.

May we all learn to trust more.
