I was lying on my bed thinking about deceit, peeople, and trust and thought that I should keep trusting people, just not rely on them! I think it sounds pretty sensible.

Sushmita Sen says in some movie, "Believe everything, trust nothing!" Whatever that means!
trust the patterns, and trust the questions- i believe that.
you can discover more about a person in an hour of play than a year of conversation--i think plato said that but i totally agree...
also trust yourself, that is... your judgment- you are intelligent, creative and wise. use it, you are powerful beyond what you realize.
lastly, whats the scoop? who messed with you?
All we can do as children is trust. I would think in a different manner as an elder and trust only those who earn your respect. Children only have the eyes of innocence; and wickedness comes only from knowledge! One must choose friends wisely, and not let them choose you!
Hi jax! you don't kno what your comment means? haha.
hi rhein. I agree with you. but when i am with my friends, i tend to overlook everything else and put my trust in them. I really have a lot to learn

Hi intrignant
Yes, what plato said makes complete sense, and is true. What happens is that a lot of times i can see things going wrong, but still i think my friends will be faithful to me because i am too. But i guess the world doesnt act according to your actions. I have always forgiven everyone who as caused an insult or injury to me, no matter how big or small, i never forget. but i don't hold grudges, and think that what he did was a one time mistake, and maybe he would not do that again. I know i am wrong here. It is nothing in particular that i can describe, but just that what i expect out of my people, i dont get that. I give a thought then, to maybe i am expecting too much. But then again, if i have someone who is my friend, someone who i am putting my trust in, there will be expectations, and they should be fulfilled. Atleast my friends should be there for me. Or I can go without friends.
Hi sonny
Why should wickedness come with knowledge? That would mean that the wisest are the most wicked. I have never been wicked, nor have i become deceitful with growing up. Then shouldn't people act the way I do with them? Thanks for your advice sonny. You are a friend who I look upto. You are senior to me in age and in wisdom. But what happens is that I beleive that i choose my friends, but a lot of times, later it turns out that I did not. I feel foolish then. Still I give my all to my friends, and my friends can always count on me.
Regards
i think you and i have the same problem- we tend to think that bec we are fair and honest and decent that people will react the same way esp if they are lucky enough to be our friends. i have been disappointed numerous times by thinking the way i saw things were the way they were looking as well. i have lost many friends as well for behavior that i found unacceptable. i tend to make excuses for my friends-- oh they are just having a bad day, a bad week, a bad year, they had a bad childhood- until i reach my limit and then all hell breaks loose. but i still have a plethora of friends left over to attest to the fact that i am a decent, interesting person. hope you are in better spirits by the time you read this....
Hi Devilsown!
Perhaps I oughta leave my name, but then my fetish for pseudonyms and underscores leaves me with no option but to use the anonymous (rather, a_know_knee_moose) ID :D
Whoa! So many comments on such a small post. Small as in text-wise, but then content-wise, the post's as deep as any other post of yours. When I read the post on Tuesday, I didn't give it much thought. But then today, I recalled a dialogue from 'The Italian Job' (the newer version with Wahlberg in it, awesome movie) which Donald Sutherland's character says: "I trust everyone. It's the devil inside them that I don't trust." No reference to Thy Exalted Self here ;) but then your ID reminded me of the dialogue. As far as I am concerned, I oscillate between total trust and total distrust, and at times, intermediate states :D
I really dont understand such pseudo phlosophical content... Sorry!
Good Work tho
trust them,but don't rely on them?
doesn't that sound contradictory?
Trust can kill you, or set you free...
'Trust them but don't rely on them' AINT contradictory, sankalp. Let's take an example: Alice trusts her friend Bob and she doesn't mind if Bob knows the PIN for her ATM card. She TRUSTS him in that she knows Bob aint gonna steal her money. But let's say Alice CAN'T RELY on Bob to get her money from an ATM if she herself is unable to. Makes sense, doesn't it? At least that's how I perceive it. Dunno what Devilsown's perception is. On a lighter note, here's a quote: "Trust in God, but lock your car." Heh heh. I guess that says it all, doesn't it? :D
Trust can kill you, or set you free...
Posted again coz of wrong link :D
Apologies for my late response!
Hi intrignant, you know what, what you said is exactly what happens with me, you seem to have similar thoughts as mine. I defend my friends and give far fetched excuses and cook up some reason or the other for their unacceptable or cantankerous behaviour, but then there comes the last straw.
yes, i am doing good now.
I look forward to your comments!

Hey A_know_knee_moose!!!!!
no problems, but your name's too big, so i'll stick to moose!
I've seen the italian job, and that statement is so well said!! I never term anyone as a bad or harmful person... there is something inside them which makes them do the things they do, good or bad!
Have fun!
hey neon!
why don't you understand that? it was not intended to be philosophical, it was just a normal thought crossing my mind. If you have to live with people, you cannot live without trusting anyone. If you don't trust people around you, you are going to be driven crazy thinking what they would do next, trust them don't rely on them. If you rely on them, you become dependant on them, which you should not be, so that if they do anything that is unexpected, you won't be bothered!
Is it simple now? or more complex than before??

Hi sankalp!
no that is not contradictory!
moose has given a pretty good explanation, and read the comment addressed to neon above, now tell me what you think.

hey weltanschauungs!

.......Or trust can make you happy and content!

Hi Devil's own!
I guess 'aknowkneemoose' is lengthy, but then 'moose' sounds SOOO archie-ish! Why not call me 'pATH'?
As for the word 'Weltanschauung', it's German, and if you look it up in WordWeb, it means : "A comprehensive view of the world and human life". In this case, like in any other case, it's gonna be a pseudo-comprehensive view, but it's suffice for now, I guess :D
oops. meant it'll suffice for now. sorry abt the typo! :D
sans souci- no worries- was away for awhile as well. glad you spirits have been lifted...
at last.....One thing that i have realized it is no matter how much gyaan(knowledge) you give to any body, it won't help him/her until he/she realizes for him/her self.How much i describe fire, the real leraning comes when u burn fingers.Am glad that the thought cam from u.growing up is fun ain't it. Some thing that i think when i lie down on my bed after reading such a blog is that i have never met a person who thinks he/she is wrong. Neither have i ever come across a person who doesn't feel that deciet is wrong, that freinds cheat and leave you, you shouldn't hurt people, that people are not getting enough for what they are working. So who the hell deciets and cheats and does all the worng things?????? Aliens?...still thinking....The Rainmaker...sorry forgot my id and password...
Hey Devil's own, beware! I think some spammers are targetting your blog. I ain't kidding, blogs are prone to spammers, I know of a blog that was down because of incessant spamming. The comment by "lucysmith04751361" seems like a spam-kinda thing to me, so I just thought I'd tell you...
Hey, Rainmaker needs to mind his i's and e's apart from his p's and q's! just a thought... been trying to resist not commenting on the mixup, but hey, there are some temptations one can't resist... :D no offence, k?
I'd question the relavence of canadian natural health and healing center until I checked it out here canadian natural health and healing center go through to the canadian natural health and healing center search box
Come on, Devil's own, enable Word verification on your blog! Else you'll be spammed to glory!
I stopped on the BLOG as "Oven Fresh" isn't alien for me too but then I read the blog. The latest post. You know...that's the funny thing about thinking. You are in for all that you wrote... deceit...distrust etc. if you have faith and if you don't have it...you may never know!
Which to me is worse than knowing that it isn't worth knowing...
Am I making sense? Not to myself!
One more thing. I like it that there are still people like you who are willing to trust others.
There is so much you shut your self out from without it :)
Yeah I guess thats true!
