T R U S T.
These five letters hold the universe together.
I trust that the driver who is watching the old lady walk
on a zebra crossing won’t hit her.
I trust that the yummy Kulfi I just cherished didn’t
contain heroin.
I trust that the teacher is imparting true facts to the
class.
I trust that trust is there somewhere everywhere.
But is trust actually where it should be?
Is there trust between those couples who know each other’s
Facebook passwords?
Is there trust between those friends who need screenshots
to believe in what you are saying?
Is there trust among those parents and children who
eavesdrop behind every close door?
Is there trust among teachers who use cameras to keep a
check on students?
Is there trust between a hubby n a wifey who call every
next hour to confirm where the other is?
Is there trust where it should be?
Why not?
It’s a very old saying, “ Sabse Bada Rog – Kya Kahenge Log
“ (The biggest misery is what people will say)
So true it is.
I have used this phrase here to depict the fact that X
doesn’t trust Y because People speak a lot of bad about Y.
X knows Y. X really knows Y. But X trusts that the people
who are speaking bad about Y are saying True because How can people be wrong? (How
can the people who don’t know u personally can be wrong in saying that he/she
is not good to be with PS it is sarcastic – We all do this, we all listen to
the unknown world)
It’s pathetic to know that everyone listens to everyone
except themselves.
Yesterday I went to a Kalyan Jewelers showroom where, with
a fake mannequin of the legendary Amitabh Bachan, was written “ Bhrosa sab kuch
hunda hai” (Faith is everything).
Have faith in me. Trust me. Believe in me. Where are the
meanings of these words, ignoring their literal value ?
Suppose.
You love someone. You know that with them the scorching
heat of the sun is tolerable, with them u can do the crazy dance in the snow,
with them you can just let yourself go, yet you don’t trust that person with
your heart. Excuse me, did you say you love them?
Everyone uses the term ‘gain’ – Y has gained X’s trust. So
how can you gain trust?
Can u please guide me that how much teaspoon of love or
tablespoon of care is needed to prepare trust?
Theorists suggest that trust comes with time, with honesty,
with love and affection, with a simple genuine smile. But is it true?
Many people around speak that don’t trust anyone n all that
bullshit, well they say true. But they speak the half truth. The headline is –
Don’t trust anyone more than you trust yourself.
Every time there is a tacky track in a music album but you
don’t stop listening to other funky tracks of those album, right? So how can u
stop trusting people when one of the not-so-good person broke it?
Everyone’s not the same. This means everyone’s not bad.
Many need your money. Many need to get in your pants. Many need your fame. Some
need your humbleness. Some need your advice. Some need your carefree nature.
Some need your smile. Some need you. And for those ‘some’, u trust people and
you find that ‘some’ and let them in.
I won’t state that you will never get hurt. Nah ! It’s just
that,“ Everyone is going to hurt you in this world, you just have to find the
ones worth getting hurt for.”
Psychologists suggest that if Y breaks X’s trust then X
will not be able to Trust Y completely ever. Well true.
But with genuinely taken effort comes a well deserved
second chance for some lucky and true ones. Though Second chance is obviously going to come after the first.
LOL. So let your guard go a bit translucent.
Now, some moral lecture time - the masses should realise
that either you let in or u let go. Don’t live a fake and superficial life
filled with people you don’t actually trust.
Give them chance.
Know them.
And if they get to connect with the strings of your soul,
Trust them and let them in.
Because in the end, it’s all about being happy and grateful
but you can’t be either if you fence yourself in your boundaries.
Break ‘em.
Start to show your Real Self and to Love and to Trust. :)
