Reply By: RavenblackPosted: Thursday, July 12, 2007 I'd like to say that I can trust a person with certain things and not when it comes to other things. But come to think of it, I have to say, if a person is proven unworthy of trust, it is just difficult to trust them in other areas.

sounds like a convoluted way of saying "I don't trust so and so?"

As for trust (which I am defining as "confident expectation"), I think you can trust for different things. For example, I trust that my neighbors will keep an eye on my place and let me know if there is something wrong or something that I should be aware of, but I wouldn't trust them with the keys to my condo. Whereas my best friend, I would definitely trust with the keys, but I don't trust her to show up anywhere on time.

Ah HA! finally a nay sayer. You are using trust in its most vague sense, 'I trust the mailman to deliver my mail' " I trust the grocery store to have food'' I am using the word in its finite sense as In I trust this person or not. person, not place or thing or situations.

"I trust him as far as I can throw him"...haha, that kind of implies degrees of trust (how far can you throw him?), but I guess really the meaning is: I don't trust him.

I don't know if trust is absolute.

I agree with Shades that it could be very situational. Are you asking do you trust someone in every single circumstance possible? Because if that's the question, there is NO ONE I trust, LOL.

My favorite line was, "I trust him as far as I can smell him." "That would imply a considerable amount of trust, sir!"

What movie is that from?

Just to make things perfectly clear, I do mean as tex said "trust in any and all situations" is trust then 100% or not?

 

I trust Colleen completely, without reservations, Same with Michele, who use to blog here as gimpyone before her eyesight went so bad she can no longer see the screen. To get spiritual I trust GOD without reservation also.

It's from a book, Brothers in Arms by Margaret Weis (I think). It's part of DragonLance's Raistlin Chronicles.
