The Lost Trust

It’s raining heavily outside. Seems like the dreadful 26th July has postponed itself. My trust doesn’t seem to hold good on the municipal authorities. An incident once occurred can definitely repeat itself.

Talking about trust, I often think of what it comprises of. What makes one trust anyone or anything, animate or inanimate? But trusting an inanimate thing has lower probability of you losing that trust on it. It’s not susceptible to changes in situations, moods or personalities. It can just prove you wrong because it obliterates or deteriorates, something which is not in its control.

But humans are special. When one has control, is one most susceptible to changes. It’s probably because whatever you do you can attribute a reason to it. Situations mould you rather than vice-versa which should be the case ideally. But it’s not an ideal world. We govern the laws of nature. We rule the world or so we think. We are free to influence, we are free to change, we are free to take things for granted and we are free to manipulate the trust that is placed on us.

There was a time when trust was indispensable in all transactions. Professional or personal, everything is still a deal. Trust and faith still holds some importance. But it’s losing its significance. It won’t be long before we are embedded with microprocessors proving our identity because trust will itself become obsolete and we won’t have anything else to trust rather than something as inanimate as technology.
