Slightly amused by what sheer coincidence of an article I was reading just today, right after I blogged about betrayal of trust yesterday.

In clear simple terms, the formula with regards to trust and the antonym of trust according to this author is as follows:

Trust = Naivety

Cynical = Clever

Somehow I cannot agree with his formula equations. What say you?

My friend asked me quite an interesting question today, that is what would it take to lose my friendship for good? I never really thought about that question before and so I thought about it real hard for awhile and then I realised there's not actually alot of things that any friend of mine needs to do to lose me forever, all they need to do is to betray my trust.

That can be done in the simplest ways, backstabbing, saying things that's not true about me, disclosing things that's supposed to be confidential and that's all really. I guess trust to me is really a big thing, you can be the worst friend to me ever and I might still have the heart to forgive you but once you betray my trust, I think we will then really be done with one another.

I think the greatest insult anyone can pay to their friends or then friends is to betray the trust the friends of theirs placed in them, what a fool that friend is for trusting you with his/her secrets, for trusting you will be a good friend who will settle issues directly with him/her, or at the very least for trusting you will be the friend who will not talk behind his/her back, at least not make things up to slander them.

Respecting trust is such a simple concept that's so often undermined and you often wonder why so when its basically the foundation to every relationship, between a husband and a wife, between a parent and a child, between a you and a me, why can't we really grasp the concept?

The world is such that there will always be people who complain, moan and bitch about their work, how much they dread doing them and so on. Such behaviour can be tolerated so long as at the crucial moment, they do their job and get things done, it doesn't matter if they complained about it or not, I rather have a complain King or Queen who gets things done rather than someone who don't complain but gets nothing done.

Because between the two evil, I think complain is a lesser one.
