Trust

Trust is like a house of cards. Building a house of cards is a tedious undertaking requiring great patience, diligence, and most of all, time. But one wrong move, one err in judgment, and the house will come crashing down, with nothing at all left, not one part of the house standing, leaving you to start all over again.

But with starting over, therein lies the difference, because unlike the house of cards, rebuilding trust is much harder. It would be as though the cards were all damaged, bent, with frayed edges, requiring much more effort to rebuild. Once trust has been betrayed, it becomes exceptionally hard to regain, and in some ways, maybe never fully regained again.

I’m learning a lot about myself lately, and how things like this relate… I’ve done a lot that I regret, hurt people who didn’t deserve hurting, destroyed enough houses of cards to fill a casino… one thing is for sure, anyone who believes I do not have a conscience is absolutely unequivocally wrong…

A conscience can truly eat you alive…
