Distrust- A Self Induced Problem

Being a part of society we all have some friends and some foes . Its common to be a friend of one and nowadays it is more common to be a deceptive friend of one. But can a friend be deceptive?or can a deceptive person be a friend? It was not applicable or valid earlier but in the contemporary world it is a true fact and as valid as a currency note in your pocket , metaphorically a legal tender fact , which is accepted by all and has been acted upon by majority of us .

In the world there are various precedents of friendship ,for example of KRISHNA JI and SUDAMA, and many more in various countries. All of these world renowned friendship have the ir roots deep inside a feeling of TRUST. Trust- a feeling ,a belief which in the present world is rarely possessed by any of us. Those who still trusts others whether their friends, colleagues,classmates and relatives are deemed as foolish . None of us can rely on others for any help or any favour without some consideration. All of us are in a spree to outshow others in order to defeat them so that we can go home happily that yes we are better than him or her.

Defeating others gives us so much satisfaction for some amount of time that we keep ourselves contended to it.

We all just accept what is happening without paying heed to the possible reasons for its cause. We work all day whether in offices , shops , schools or any other place being aware of the fact that we cant trust any person. But never do we attempt to find a possible reason or reasons behind the declining levels of trust among our people.

The very immediate reason for this case is that we have been taught by our mentors, our teachers, our bosses, our parents that we should not trust others. We must at first and at last care for only ourselves and not to others may that be our friends . We all hear very often that we must win at any cost and must try our best to outshine others by whatever means we can but not let others win. We are not permitted to use our knowledge in carrying out our plans because the experiences of our parents and our teachers have not been so good by trusting by others. As a result we pass on such thinking to further generations and it forms a vicious circle of distrust around us. And then we the same people develop a feeling of distrust for those people whom we want to distrust at, infact there are good chances that the same person may be working for our good.

The second reason which has a proximate connection with distrust is that , we actually trust people only when we want to trust them as per our preferences. Lets say that when we travel by plane, our whole life is at stake and in the control of pilot but because we want to trust him or her , we trust them , inspite of the fact that the pilot has made it clear for himself that he is going to crash it down.

So distrusting people is a SELF INDUCED phenomenon developed by all of us out there in society as per our own preferences..

Hence it is totally in our hands to develop a trustworthy relationship with other fellow beings. We can learn this from terrorists too , as they guys have total trust on their members that yes they will sacrifice their lives in order to kill people. So if such mean people can trust each other, We can also let ourselves live in Harmony with others
