Why is it that some trust and others do not?
What is worse?
To trust with eagerness, or to refrain and lose a potential friend or more?
Those who trust with eagerness....
Are they cautious inwardly?
Do they know what they're doing?
Or perhaps they're innocent souls starting from the beginning, their slate without a single scratch.
Those who take time or learn not to trust at all...
Is it that their slate has been chipped beyond any hope of worth?
Are they naturally cautious from others' stories of betrayal?
...Or have they been like that from birth...
...I still have yet to figure out where I stand on the scale of trust, but I know that my heart has a shield as well as a door. Those worthy will be given a key.
