Uncertainty

Trust. A small word with huge implications. It's something you give to someone you believe in and cherish close to the heart. Something, that you give unconditionally. It's easy to trust people at first try, even to the extent that it can make you fall hard for that one person who gives you that special sense of security and feeling that you can trust in that person regardless of what happens. And yet, what happens if that trust becomes lost on the way? Just as the twin towers eventually crumbled to dust and rubble, trust is also that vulnerable, and once betrayed, crumbles to anger, hurt, disappointment, and eventually nothingness. So then, how do you build up that trust once more? The keyword here is teamwork. You can't possibly build up trust alone that only exists between 2 people, it needs both parties to rebuild that trust. Rebuilding that trust is through actions, the thought process behind making decisions, big or small. While time is also a factor in this rebuilding of trust, most importantly, it's the hearts of the two parties, how motivated and determined are they to want to rebuild and find back that lost trust in each other, bringing their relationship to a deeper level. Explaining in physics terms, two particles can co-exist in 2 different levels, one at a superficial level, and the other at a deeper level. But the level of interest would definitely be that of the deeper level, as that would be what holds the particles together through all external forces. We see at the deeper level, the location of the particles. Is it far apart? Or is it close? If it is far apart, what exactly is the state of motion? The particles could be moving towards each other, ie working together to become closer on a deeper level, rebuilding the trust again. They could also be moving apart from each other, which would indicate that both parties are distancing from each other, unwilling to rebuild the trust, leaving everything status quo. Another instance would be that both particles are moving in the same direction, which means one party is making the effort to rebuild the trust, but the other is moving away and not bothering about the progress of rebuilding the lost trust. So ultimately, you make a choice; which level and what state of motion would you like to move in. It is not easy, rebuilding that lost trust, but through time and both parties efforts, I am positive that the trust would eventually regain its former glory, bringing the relationship to a whole new deeper level.
