Trust, initially, is an emotional act. We must be vulnerable and trust that someone will accept us and learn to love us. However, once the trust that is built is destroyed, it is based more on a logical and intuitional act. Trust will not blind us from the facts. Love, on the other hand, is blind.

Everyone suffers at least one bad betrayal in their lifetime. It's what unites us. The trick is not to let it destroy your trust in others when that happens. Don't let them take that from you.
SHERRILYN KENYON

Put not your trust in princes.
BIBLE
Psalms 146:3

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
BIBLE
Psalm 16:1
The most perfect communion of soul with soul, the most exquisite fellowship of mind with mind, are possible only where undoubted trust and undying love are possible, nowhere else. Nothing so ennobles and purifies a spirit as the exercise of faith in somebody.
REUEN THOMAS
Thoughts for the Thoughtful
The fact is there is nothing that you can trust; and that is a terrible fact, whether you like it or not. Psychologically there is nothing in the world, that you can put your faith, your trust, or your belief in. Neither your gods, nor your science can save you, can bring you psychological certainty; and you have to accept that you can trust in absolutely nothing. That is a scientific fact, as well as a psychological fact. Because, your leaders -- religious and political -- and your books -- sacred and profane -- have all failed, and you are still confused, in misery, in conflict. So, that is an absolute, undeniable fact.

Trust is not like electric light that you switch on and off. You build it up over time and it can be forfeited very quickly.
RAYMOND PARSONS
"Trust not electric light that can be switched on", Moneyweb, May 11, 2017
Confiding Trust, fair flow'r of youthful minds!
Puts forth its simple blossoms all too soon,
Caught by the first alluring beams of spring;
And, dazzled by their bright and sunny glare,
Clings to the tendril promises of words,
Not deeming they are vain, and false as fair;
Till disappointment's nipping frost appears,
And withers all its impulses of life!
C. B. LANGSTON
"Dissapointment"
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
