 I see humans but no humanity!


Trusting people can be too dangerous
Trusting people can be too dangerous

2/05/2016

 

A little boy was sleeping in his bedroom. The house was on fire and he awoke with his father yelling his name from the outside, because the flames were too high. He went to the window and opened it, so he could hear better what his father was saying. He could hear him, but not see him; there was too much smoke... His father was shouting “Jump, I’ll catch you my son”, however, the child was quite scared. “How can you catch me if I can’t see where you are”? - The kid asked. And his father replied “You don't see me, but I am seeing you. Jump, I am here and I will catch you. Trust me”. He jumped and his father caught him.

This is a nice story (perhaps a legend?) about trust. Trust requires total faith in someone who has the “power” to destroy us, but we believe they won’t do it. Almost all stories have a happy ending and show some kind of moral, which violently shocks with what we see in real life! I know, you probably hate moral and possibly you don't believe in guilt, but... Do you have any idea of how many people have their lives destroyed because they trusted too much? 


When I hear people saying things that seem too good to be true, I generally say “Don’t say things if you don’t mean them”. There is a reason why I always say this; all my life people left me and the "funniest" thing is that I always felt they would leave me (despite of trusting them). Commonly, people say that if you feel that someone will hurt you, they will. It’s just a matter of time... Inevitably, I have to agree. It seems that we can sense what is yet to come...

Individuals say they trust you, but they just "trust" you a “little bit”... and so is their love. What is the meaning of this? I think it's none. To love or to trust a person because it’s convenient means nothing. Come on... which part of a person is trustful and which part is not? Which element do you love about someone and which element makes you not love them? Does this make any sense?! We are subdividing the meaning of words that only have one meaning: trust is trust and love is love. Or we trust or we don't; or we love or we don't love. It seems that there are two types of trust, two types of love, and two types of everything. Vulgarly people speak about "love", but they don’t mean "true love". It took me a while to understand this. It’s like a man who has his wife and his lover; so we have true love and love. (What the hell is this?! The 21st century translations?!)

It’s vulgar to hear “I don’t trust her/him totally”. Why don't people say “I don’t trust him/her (yet)”, instead? While the first sentence instigates some confidence, the second inspires none. The impact is totally different I know, so I guess that’s why individuals prefer to say the first expression; it’s not so aggressive, I suppose.

It is frustrating to trust people and being hurt. It is even more frustrating to forgive them for what they have done and be hurt again! We end up loathing ourselves for giving them the power to bruise our heart, because the heart always prevails and they know this very well. We try to convince ourselves that this time will be different or then, this person is different... we hope for the best, bracing the worst and when the worst comes, we are consumed with great sadness that threatens to destroy our whole being. 

It would be extraordinary if people could keep their word, since to those who believe them, their word means everything and when it’s not kept someone's world might and will fall apart. Just look into the story in the beginning; if the father didn’t keep his word, the kid might have died when he jumped or then could have hurt himself irreversibly. Trust, like freedom, has a high price! Most of the times it costs someone’s life! So if you don’t trust your life to anyone, why to make people lose their lives because of yours? Which one of us two is more important, you or me? Probably you are thinking you are... the funny thing is that I also agree with you. I can't help it, you will always be more important than me, although if everybody "hold hands" (instead of "kicks") surely there wouldn’t be so many lost lives. The society says "To trust someone is to sign a death sentence". Yeah, it is, but at least those who trusted, have lived (pain is a part of life, without it there is nothing), unlike those who were living a dead life...
