I am sure we have all had our fair share of trust and how it was broken in our lives. Since the very beginning of time, trusting was built and instilled in our hearts, souls, and minds. We trusted as a little child that our parents, guardians, caretakers would care for us and love us. Even for those living in the orphanages, if no one cared for them or loved them enough, they wouldn't have shelter over them, and clothes to keep them warm. However, that trust that we were certain to have upon these so-called people to be trusting...that they would love us no matter what, can be easily broken.
We see it everyday in all aspects of the human life. We hear stories of it from our peers, co-workers, friends, and of stories they heard and came across. We see it in the media, the local newspaper, the TV, the internet...of how a child was neglected in a car under the hot 100-degree sun while the mother went in to the store to shop. Or a man going into a classroom and killing children while they were learning. Or a mother killing her own child, and many more.
So...then, does it become hard for us to trust? Do we slowly lose trust in the people who are suppose to love us and care for us, not only for our well-being, but our hearts? By seeing and hearing these things on the daily, day in and day out, at least frequently enough--does it change our trust in these significant beings in our lives? If someone hurts us so much, making it unhealthy for us physically, mentally, and emotionally--do we go back or should we remove ourselves from the source? Do we love ourselves enough to realize the situation and the fact that it isn't nourishing our souls, instead humiliating it--to walk away from the situation? What do we do?
