What is Trust?
...that graduates into a level of trust between you two. This confidence that is gained through the other individual to help you achieve a goal or acquire something you need most likely leads to a stable trust between you two. For example, if one is having trouble at home and needs someone to vent to, then trust can be as simple as another person listening to what that one person needs to get out of his or her system and truly does not express this information to anyone else. This individual must not judge you by what information they are receiving, for that would impair the bond between the two. Instead, this individual needs to understand that you are going through a rough time and strictly need someone to help you get through it. On a more gradual, less-serious scale, trust can be formed simply by maintaining a friendship for an elongated duration of time, allowing you to feel comfortable with that person and gain the ability to relate to each other. This is the most common way to gain trust when it comes to adolescents, mainly because of how friends are cherished and valued so greatly through the teenager years. Much devastation and a feeling of hopelessness can arise if the bond of trust is violated, or even worse, ended.

One may feel so embarrassed and self-conscience of a certain aspect of his or her life, even to the point where it hurts for that person to think about it, and gaining enough courage to express these feelings to another individual can be quite arduous depending on how personal it is. By that one trusted individual crossing over the unwritten line and breaching the bond, it is quite possible that it could cause greater negative results than the original problem. This is the main reason for which trust is so valued throughout the human society – since you are reaching deep into your soul and mind to open up your deepest, sometimes most discomfiting secrets to another individual. Ever since the beginning of time, back to the days of Adam and Eve, temptation existed in the souls of every human being on this earth. Whether it be small or great, the feeling is still present. This feeling of temptation and enticement can cause the breaking of the bond of trust between individuals. What if there was no trust in the world? What if paranoia was so great that not one soul had faith in another? Trust is what brings us together as a society – and as a matter of fact, destroys us. We, as a human race, believe that there is too much conflict going on in the world to begin with, but without trust these differences would be infinite and unfixable. Instead of two or three sides fighting in a war, there would be thousands or even millions of different views on various topics that would cause these people to disagree since no one man or women trusts any other.
