Robyn and I were arguing the other day over the fact I don't trust anyone, which isn't exactly true. I trust only those I would give my life for if asked. Which obviously does not include a great number of people as my life has been lived looking out for myself. Of course I didnt' tell her this, I just told her I don't trust people.
So it's lead me to think over these past few days, am I wrong? Should I trust more people? I mean, you can only be stabbed in the back so many times before you start avoiding the knife. Which I should know about considering I'm usually the one holding the knife. And I do trust people, in a sense I trust them to betray and hurt me but I don't really think that's what she meant. So what makes people trust another? Is it wrong for me to only trust those that I'm willing to die for?
