I've lost the will to trust. I don't know why. I only know that it exists, this inability to trust.
It's not that I can't trust. I can. I deal in honesty. I do not work well with half truths and partial fabrications. If ever someone puts that sort of untruth in my face, then I begin to wonder, "What else is not entirely truthful? ... and for what reason?"
I am not the sort to change the story to fit the desired scenario. If truth cannot stand alone, then something is amiss and I begin to feel uncomfortable.
I want to trust. But I don't know how.
Just how important is trust?
I think trust is everything. But, once we get lost in the confusion, we then do not know what is atrue reason not to trust... and what is imagination, considering the mulititude of scenarios that could possibly source from one untruth or half-truth.
Why can't people simply operate out of the energy of truthfulness.

Alas shimmerrings, the 'real' world we live in is built on a web of lies, half truths and fantasy
Be it hollywood, religion, politics and all human interaction or relationship. No longer is the shop keeper or restaurateur out to offer a service but out to pay his bills and make a profit (or tax for his services). The only 'real' blessing of competition is that it brings the prices of goods down, but with services its a different story - you don't see doctors or dentists undercutting their competitors prices. And if you risk looking for the cheapest builder, carpenter, electrician or plumber you risk ending up with a cowboy - Must be a hard life, when from the moment one gets up till the moment one goes to bed one is looking for mugs to fleece or bleed.
PS - apologies to any & all honest craftsmen out there. Yes there are some even in this imperfect world.
Quasar, it is sad... but true, what you say. Everything does seem to be about money. Everything is so fast paced and mass produced... and shoddily done. What have we done? And will it ever be the same, again? Perhaps there have been shysters since the beginning of time and we only, now, begin to notice.
