The Trust We Lack

Trust is a very important part of our lives. The trust we have in people is what makes us live happier lives but the problem is we are becoming less trustworthy every day. Even though we have less reasons each day to trust people because of fear that they will harm us, an effort must be made since it is what unites us. A civilization cannot be created with ought to trust in each other, it is what made us who we are. “At first she was silent from modesty, and, if she could, would have hid her face with her hands; but when he repeated his questions, for fear she might be thought guilty of some fault which she dared not tell, she disclosed her name and that of her country, and her mother’s pride of beauty.” Here the virgin is afraid of speaking her name and telling Perseus where she was from. It is a perfect example of the trust we have lost over the years. This loss of trust is what has brought us to trust even less since nobody trust anyone to do anything our work is much harder. Clearly we have to take these examples from the gods and realize what we are doing. If we continue through this path we will get no were except end up in a place where everyone is alone.
