Default Re: Trust.

On a general trust issue, I have lived in many enviorenments where to trust everyone would have lead to many troublesome circumstances, maybe even death. I think I tend to (subconciosly) weigh up the risk reward ratio.

If the consequences of my trust in someone being wrong are that I am 30 secomds late for work today - I'll blindly trust them, no matter what, because realistically there is no significant negative consequences for me if I am wrong. If the consequences for me wrongfully putting my trust in someone is that my family die, I am apt to do everything within my power to not be in a situation where I am forced to trust this person/ Take up safeguards against this persons word etc.
