Word for the Day - 2020

 

 From Wikipedia:  Trust (social science), confidence in or dependence on a person or quality.

 Trust can be a tricky word for me.

It is hard to even share that last sentence with you and trust it will be OK.

Yes, I trust myself, but because my father deserted his family when I was very young it is hard for me to trust others. It took me a very long time to realize that. I am very self-contained in many ways. Now as I am getting older, as I am meditating during my walks, I think about having to someday rely on others. Trust is a tricky thing for me.

Looking at the description from Wikipedia I see it even goes to quality. Do we trust the quality of the purchases we make, do we research them to make sure we are getting a safe product? Do we trust?

My mind is still playing this word "trust" over, it tumbles in my mind.

How do you feel about this word?
