The Truth Behind Trust When introduced to someone for the very first time, trust is automatically given. I listen to the words coming off their lips and believe it. Why?

We tend to take everyone else’s trust for granted, whereas our trust is hard to even gain. Overall, telling the truth is easier, and won’t cause as much fuss. It burns my throat to be honest sometimes, but when I love and care about someone, I’d rather have them in my life then
