Expensive in a Relation

When I think of a relationship there are a lot of things that comes to mind. The front and foremost being the People involved, then their is love, respect, mutual understanding and what not. But amongst the haze something very important gets overlooked. Something that all relationships are based upon. We tend to undermine it's important and it is the one of the single most important killer of any kind of relationship. If you haven't guessed uptill now then let me help you. It's the ever enduring "Trust".

For me the single most important thing in a relatioship is trust. Out there when you are fighting the world it's always nice to know that there is someone you can trust on. Who will look over your backs and expect you to do the same. It's the most difficult thing to achieve and the most easy thing to loose. where we cannot take anything for it's face value, we can always take the word of a friend. No body wonders the relationship between a dog and his master. Once look closely at it. You'll find that it's the trust that they share that makes it such a wonderful thing. Alas in this fast moving world, only the trust of an animal can be trusted upon.

A blind man will trust his dog to lead the way but we with our eyes wide open cannot trust the friends that we seem to have in abundance. Somebody told you that the wall has just been painted don't lean on it and you have go on and make sure of it yourself.

It takes years of painstaking bits of acts to make someone trust you and we go out there are blow it off in a moment. My first real true friend came about to be in a very unusual circumstances. We are out playing in school and suddenly some argument irrupted and he beat the hell out of me. Then I knew this was the guy I could trust my life with. He stood his ground for what he believed in. Since then every bit has been a trust building thing and after nearly 12 yrs I can bet my life with him.

Trust is the most strange thing if you think about it. Think of a battle field. People from different walks of life and different religion come together. And even before they join they know they are going into a world where trust is the paramount thing. Why can't we learn to trust like that in our day to day life. You sit next to a person for ages and still you cannot trust the person with you Pen and in the battlefield ppl trust other ppl in a day with their lives.
