One Way To Make Someone Trustworthy

The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him. – Henry Stimson

Who do you wish you could trust?

Trust them.

Go ahead, it will be okay.

But, “What if they abuse that trust!?” you object?

Create a life impervious to the actions of others – a life free of attachments, expectations and rules – doing such is a great way to spend your time . . . .

Then, you can trust freely.

Or, you can just do it now, as if all that was true.*

*  *  *

* Because, in truth, it is.
