Trust and snacks
Good day everyone, welcome to my blog
My neighbor has a little child of one year plus. Whenever he is given a snack, be it sweet or biscuits, he would run as fast as he could from his parent's house to mine so I can open it for him. All that never really made sense till I came across a prompt.
The little boy would journey all the way from their compound to my door step to open his snacks because he trusted that I would open the snacks and hand it over in one piece without taking anything from it. He started bringing his snacks to me during holidays and he has made it a habit.
If I want him to stop bringing his snacks to me, it's a very simple task. I would just open it and remove it without his permission. I am very sure our relationship would not remain the same after I try so, i am not intending to.
After months of observation I realized that the little boy is not tight fisted; he just wants you to seek permission before taking his thing. Trust is a very sensitive issue that goes a long way to say a lot about a person's personality.
Imagine using someone as a referee on your curriculum vitae you submitted for an international job. The company calls the referee only for the referee to confirm knowing you but not trusting you because of a brech of trust that happened from you to him/her some times in the past.
You might think an apology is the most appropriate when trust is broken or lost but I bet you it is not because the kind of disappointment that comes with brech of trust is like a double edged sharp knife that is aimed at slicing one's heart. A scar can never be compared to the main skin so trust is rather left unbroken because once it is broken it's usually unmendable.
Thank you for reading, I am @ellizy.
