Trust, a lost virtue?

[Jaybird1980]

I definitely don't trust very many people. The ones i do trust earned it and proved it.
Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and a lifetime to repair.

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^
There are few that made it through the years and many that fell to the seconds. I also have a few that are trying to repair the trust they have broken but not many and there is no guarantee it will ever return. Usually once trust is gone it's gone forever.

My trust scales up and down depending on the consequences of that trust being misplaced and the history I have with the individual. If we don't trust at some level we won't be able to get anything done.
