Trust

Something you do since you arrive on this planet. Mother Earth.

I trust him, I don’t trust her. I trust you. I don’t trust you. Trust can be seen in anything and everything. The biggest trust is the one you put in yourself.

The other day I was walking on the road. I saw a very young boy – aged 3 maybe, walking on the road, holding his father’s finger. This simple act of holding the finger, knowing that wherever he may be going, he is safe, is one of the simplest act of trust in this big world of complications.

Wherever you are. Whatever you do. You trust. Say you are walking on a lonely road. And you start feeling jittery. The first thing that come to your mind is God. You know that God is there for you and that nothing will happen to you as He is there. That’s trust. Your trust. My trust. Everyone’s trust. Its an unknown trust. But it is there. And you can feel it.

We don’t think about it. Rather we just do it. We just trust. And that is how we progress. We move ahead in life. We know that there is somebody out there to back us. To help us get up when we fall. And so we don’t worry and move ahead.

But then why is it so that we are losing this trust. Why is it so that we have started looking at people with an eye of suspicion. All out friends, our families, everyone around us. Even ourself. See, that is where we go down. The suspicion gets us to make appropriate moves – or atleast we think we do. But are they appropriate. Or are they inappropriate. Whatever it is, in the process we just loose it all. Our friends, family, the happiness in life that we had. Everything. And maybe – maybe – we also loose our own self.

It is rightly said – its lonely at the top.

Yes it is. And the fact is, you don’t trust people. Suspecting everyone for everything. That’s when you remember, that’s when you realize. Trust is one of the most important thing in life.

So when you go out, meet people; whatever you do, wherever you are, just trust. Try it. You will surely feel good.
