Where in the world did this come from? It's got me completely confused. I thought, maybe, there might be something in the OP's profile that would explain this response, but I see nothing. Not trying to bash you, CrappyDom, because I've admired many of Your posts. I just am confused as to what this one is in reference to. =(
I understand what he said (or if I don't he can set the record straight). He is saying that some people shouldn't trust anyone until they figure out their patterns of behavior that lead them into trouble. I did not see him state that was the case for the opening post, but we are all responding to more than one person here, we are responding to all the people that read the thread too.
I think he is right on a level, if we keep making the same mistake it is usually because of a pattern that needs changing in our life. We should learn to listen to that inner voice that warns us of trouble either way in my view, but until we find that voice then perhaps we shouldn't trust people.
It comes back to being secure within oneself really. If you have a belief in yourself and trust yourself then the actions of others have less impact on you. Your sense of the world is dependent on your own view of it, not external factors. I trust because I can withstand the emotional impact of having that trust betrayed. If you cannot withstand that, then you cannot let yourself trust.
