1. We can only love someone we trust.
Love is built on trust. As rational
individuals, we can only naturally love someone we already trust. Relationships
that aren’t anchored in trust are not made to survive rocky trials.
2. Love only reflects our ability
to trust others.
Our
ability to selflessly give ourselves to others comes with a guarantee of
reciprocation. We trust in order to be trusted, but we love only with the hope
of being loved back.
3. We
use trust to control our emotions.
We are
emotional beings who put more emphasis on the means than the end. We engage
ourselves in meaningful relationships that we value. Hence, we use trust to
gauge our relationship with others, and in the process, we figure out how much
we are willing to give of ourselves to others.
4. We
put a premium on trust as the building block of any relationship.
Trust
precedes love. Every type of relationship is anchored on our ability to be open
and share ourselves with others.
5.
Judgment is clouded by love but illuminated by trust.
We
think that love can save us from emotional roller coasters. More often than
not, we are blinded by what love has to offer—gaining the acceptance,
admiration, and approval of others. What we fail to consider is the fact that
sometimes, our judgment becomes flawed because there are times when love
suppresses reason and we get trapped in its foolish play. Trust, on the other
hand, routes us back to the reason we built the relationship—establishing a
lifelong connection with that person.
6.
Trust conquers all.
We
always believe that love conquers all, but it is trust that pushes us to
believe that we can and will conquer every obstacle. We can say that love is
the overarching concept of overcoming whatever obstacle comes our way, but it is
trust that holds everything together. It is the glue to every gap and
difference.
7.
Trust is what makes us love again.
At the
end of it all, after we fall down, get back up, and head back on track, trust
enables us to believe that deep inside, we are all hopeless romantics just
trying to find our own better half among the seven billion little souls on
Earth.
