Trust, again

“Your partner, maybe you lost trust in them. They've let you down. If that's what happens, all you see in them is their badness, maybe selfishness, their faults, never do that. Look at the other part of them. If you do trust them, give them that trust again. Maybe all the time, they live at that trust. ‘She is forgiven me.’ ‘He is forgiven me.’ It's amazing. If you trust in the person's goodness, they tend to live up to it. If you keep finding and looking at their faults, they life down to their faults. They become to what you expect them to become. You create them with your expectations. If you expect the best of the other people, they live up to that. If you expect the worst of them and they'll fulfill your expectation. How about expecting the best? Trust in, see what might happened. Could you do any better? So anyway, that's just the other ways to look at trust.
 

And a world without trust is world with fear. And I don't want live in that world. So always forgive and trust again.”
